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!!!
