Production is a strange occupation sometimes your'e the hero, sometimes the Villain....Hours spent listening to the same piece of music over and over again, analysing its merits to the point of madness..Is it the drummer? Is it the mic....Perhaps its the eq!! or compression..Is it the song????..Not enough top end on the hi-hat...Whats on the menu??......the Reverbs too long..theres no groove in the chorus, tell em to call back..The studio sucks, the A&R man cant hear the hook, if only we had an accoustic gtr that sounded like a bass drum or vice versa......Was the first take the one?? Only one side of my headhone works***Can we get more out of the toms**the plugger wants to edit out the intro otherwise radio wont play it***It doesnt sound like that on my stereo..it'll be alright in the mix..It's Never ending but very addictive, very frustrating and it gets you everytime..
I started out in studios making the Tea (like 90% of the producers you read about; in the good old days of analogue,when home recording was a four track and everybody hated the sound of tape hiss - yes analogue was sometimes hated - infact, my tea wasn,t very good at all, and if legend is true; Flood was the master Tea merchant..Studios were, and are a boot camp....No, they're places of slave f**** labour, they're sleep deprevation tanks, places where daylight seldom visits, where pale looking things just stare at speakers..Where little bits of beautiful magic & mistakes happen...
.I still love music
....grrrr grumpy old bastard......

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
Are you listening Poluso
- Hunter S. Thompson-
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
