Customers are ace ! ......... Here's some of the more memorable recent studio quotes.
===============================================================
DRUMMER TO ENGINEER ....... "I find that the ride cymbal is not used in current popular music"
===============================================================
GUITARIST TO ENGINEER ..... 'Right, I'm going to be needing a slightly more plummy sound for this one and then I'll record a double track with a less plummy sound . ENGINEER 'That's fine by me, just one thing though, what the fuck do you mean by plummy??' . GUITARIST 'OH, plummy , as in a fine red wine, but for the guitar tone ... you know'
===============================================================
PRODUCER to SINGER ......'Are the lyrics not about a girl who's upset you?. SINGER: 'Yeah, that's right mate'. PRODUCER: ' Then why are you singing like she just gave you a puppy for Christmas?' ...... He got it next take.
==================================================================
PRODUCER TO DRUMMER ..... ' Have you tuned your kit?' DRUMMER: ' Are you fucking mad?. It's a drum kit not a guitar!!!'
===============================================================
BASS PLAYER : 'Ermm I want it sound errr like deep, errr but not too deep and like err errr oh you know like a bass but errr ohhh like that guy from ....what they called .errm ... i know what I want, but I just can't put it into words ..... you know' . DING : Yeah, I know just what you mean , I'll do that for you now and please forgive me if we don't speak again today."
===============================================================
BASS PLAYER TO DRUMMER .... no man, that's not a saxophone, that's a fire extinguisher.
===============================================================
DRUMMER .... well I'd like it to sound like a samba snare. DING .....check this ...it's Brazilian reverb, makes you sound like you're playing in the streets of Rio .....DRUMMER (after long listen) ...... God it does doesn't it.
================================================================
DING to SINGER :"Right then, time for you to do your thing" . SINGER: Yep, just one minute, errrr can you think of a word that rhymes with rhinosaurus?"
================================================================
DRUMMER TO ENGINEER "Do you work with bands a lot?"
================================================================
We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.
Just wanted to say thank you for bein our friend and givin us the support you have done. Cant believe we have only had this space up for a couple of months and already so many people backing us! If its not too cheeky and obviously only if your not busy could you come on our page and give us a comment on our stuff! It would be reatly appreciated. Also we are giving away free 'I love suzy' t-shirts (to go with our first single) with everyone who signs up to our mailing list so get involved if you want! Thanks for reading this and i hope i didnt bore you! ha. p.s. even if you dont come on our page and comment, thank you for bein our friend on here!
Just wanted to a huge thank you for the stellar job you've done with our latest recordings. Everybody has commented on how powerful and polished it sounds...
We honestly couldn't be happier with it...
Thanks Ding, and we'll see you at the album launch on the 25th...
Thanks very much Ding, we're all really pleased with our ep. If any bands reading this are lookin for somewhere to record 6db is the place, its a quality studio and Ding really knows what he's doin.
Just thought you'd like to know that Steve Lamacq (who has obviously got great taste) is playing his top 60 records of the moment next WEDNESDAY 5TH NOVEMBER BETWEEN 9PM-10PM and has decided that our track 'A Hero For Our Times' is worthy of play on BBC Radio 1. Must have been your magical production skills. So cheers again . . .
An edited version will also be available for podcast.
Take it easy mate and I'm sure we'll be back in the studio soon.
