Man there are times when you just need to bail. This is one of them. This client is the pickiest pain in the ass I’ve had all year and for what? So I can try to make this junk play? You gotta be kidding.
I should have bailed when she brought in the 8 track with BUILT IN SPEAKERS and no line outs.
Gig description
Fix 8 track tapes. Break open the shells and then splice together tape more frail than Karen Carpenter’s remains in the hopes it doesn’t just fall apart again.
Transfer fixed 8 track tapes via player with no outputs to CD. Oh what just put a mic in front of the speakers on the 8 track? Oh man.
For good measure transfer an old 78 from 1963 which has creases in it and only plays about 3 seconds before it goes haywire.
All this while the picky client is asking millions of stupid questions…
Kill me.

Every year I do a neat recording gig of a youth symphony in the one of the best halls west of the Mississippi: Abravanel Hall. This is a pretty easy gig, as all the gear is in place and I just tap in my laptop to their high quality mics and hit record.
The first pic below is of rehearsal. Look up on the wall and you’ll see two small windows. That’s where the sound room is.
The pic below here is shooting out of the sound room window during the performance.

Yo. Wutup G?
I’ve managed to keep myself away from the rap scene lately. No rap recording projects. But my latest video gig with this rapper just reminds me how old and tired the whole baggy pants and hat on sideways thing is.
Memo to rappers
If you think you are cool because you say “nigga” and “motha fucka” you’re not.
If you think you’re cool because you say “biotch” and “bust a cap in yo ass” you’re not.
If you think you’re cool because you say “bust a nut in a biotch’s ass” you’re not. I’ve seen your “biotch” and I wouldn’t do her with someone else’s dick…
Let’s try something new shall we? That shit is old.
