Default Rant of the day

OTOH, I've heard things produced by supposedly "real" studios -
treated rooms, expensive gear, closet full of mics, testimonials on
their website etc. that sounded sub-par as well.


Unfortunately that's often what the client wants. I'm sure Katy Perry etc..
don't use the bedroom boys, but I doubt they could do much worse :-(



I'm not talking about things like "I think use of Auto-Tune should be
a capital crime" but just amateurish sounding production - badly EQ'd
etc. Stupid production decisions like setting up a singer/guitarist
with one mic for both voice and guitar and not even doing a good job
of that. How much more labor could it be to set up a mic for both and
get a balance between them?
