Let's hear your sound engineer/producer cliches :)

Denalihighway

In response to a light-hearted thread over in the music production forum which admittedly I derailed slightly by getting a bit fresh…what cliches do us salt-o-the-earth musician folk have about sound engineers/producers etc?

I’ll start things off:

“Leave all your effects off, separate the whole drum kit and then leave the song to me lads…it’ll sound exactly the way I you need it to sound” :pac:

There are too many sound engineer quotes to fit on the internet.

My favourite is,
"Turn the gain on the amp down a little. The gain.... No.... The one that says "gain" on it.""

And he was a nice one.

Let's hear your sound engineer/producer cliches ?

(please)

If you click edit, then advanced, you would be able to do it also

(But done)

no more reply! ah lads! must try harder!

no funny/frustrating studio anecdotes? I remember another good one.

"will you be mixing the song today"

"yeah, but I'll need you to come down and be there"

"OK, what do you need me to do"

"nothing, I just don't think I'll be motivated to do it unless you're sitting there" (said very seriously!)

"ok now let me hear the snare"

"which ones that again"

"when you went out for a smoke that time was it weed or a fag?"

"well i can;t smoke a gay fella now can I??"

Biggest laugh i ever had recording.
