Why is it that every goober with an m-box and a pair of cheap KRKs
think they can offer studio time? I can't even count how many ads
like this I see on Craigslist.

When the ADAT was popular, I ran ads saying "We don't Have An ADAT
And We Never Will." Now I run ads saying "We Don't Have Pro-Tools."

I tell folks that, but I tell them if they gotta have it
they can take the hard disk I hand them at the end of the
session and import it into pro tools if they really gotta do
that.

Don't worry, there are plenty of performers in the same league too.
You don't want them as customers either.


HE's dead on, and I don't want those customers, which is why
I do location recording, with or without remote truck. But,
if I do it without remote truck, it's sans sound
reinforcement. IF you want me to record you rockin' out
you'll pay the price for the remote truck, because I'm not
going to listen to most of that stuff at the volumes you
want to play in the room, and take a feed off your live
foh console's inserts. eSpecially when I'm not offering a
good control room, except in the truck so I don't do mixing
and further production on your tracks.

I don't have pt, I don't have autotune, and if you need
them, or you can't perform live then I probably don't want
to hear you anyway so it's just as well that I don't record
you.




Richard webb,
