Hello all,
Last week I got a call from a Detroit Rapper who wants me to do some Mastering for him and his crew,the cd has 14 songs on it and needs it in a week,cool no problem.I set up the time and tell him to come by.Two days later he calls back and says he DON'T want any Eq-ing or St wideing on it Just make it LOUDER,I said ok,But!
Well he came by and drop of the songs, and the frist song has alot of clipping on the Vox,the 2nd song is the same and the 3rd , the Vox has drop-offs in it and alot of bleed from headphones.
I know I shouldn't,and I didn't, but I wanted to fix it because it needed to be done.
What do you do, or tell someone that it's bad, and not lose the job?
My Rep is on the line.( at least in my mind it is )to give the Best I can and keep them happy and comming back.
Is this what we have become in music?
Just make it louder and un-unerstandable?
I care about the work I do,but more,and more I find that people realy don't!......I gess get it out there is their goal no-matter how it sounds.
Just Make it " LOUDER "
