For Goodness Sakes (In The Studio) 001 Category: Music This is my studio blog 001. Things I hear / say and somebody should say in the studio. 1. "If it sounds wrong, it is wrong". - mc (use those things on the side of your head) 2. "How can you punch-in without looking at the screen"??? - Un-named Intern 3. "Get me a reel of 1/2".... (reply) "1/2" What???" 4. "You should be required to have a licenses to operate Pro Tools" - Bob Clearmountain 5. "We're gonna make a lot of bad records with Pro Tools before we learn to use it" - JJ Puig 6. "We never had this problem on analog" (tape) - mc ----- For interns: 1. Neatness always counts. (check mic lines / patchbay patches / shirt tail / all piercings) 2. If you want to get paid, show up at least 5 minutes before the clients. 3. I like my coffee like I like my women, full of liqueur. 4. Nobody wants your opinion, YET!!! 5. Tell me if I'm screwing up, but don't wave a big flag while doing so. 6. If you're screwing up, don't wave the big flag till after the clients leave. 7. I don't care what your Music Industry teacher says (how many gold / platinum records and grammys to they have). Besides those who can't, Teach. 8. For goodness sakes, get a personality 9. Don't let the technology get away from what's important: The Music!!! Signing Off Mark Capps / www.mark-capps.com
