Funniest studio quotes

[superpenguin79]

Anyone have any classic quotes that they have heard in the studio? I found a list of hillarious ones that I thought I would share while I had some downtime today here.

probably should move this to the joke thread or something. *shrugs*

ok, there were 3 guys out in my live room about to do a harmony, and while i was setting
up the track to record, one of them says to one of the other people out there,
"tell me when to go down" =)

[Matt Whritenour]

oh, how about the most annoying,

"so how much money did you spend on all of your equipment?"

and

kid: "hey man i was wondering if i can like work with you at ur studio because i wanna start learning this stuff"

me: "you mean intern?"

kid: "i guess, but if you wanted to throw me like 10% of everything you make , that would be cool"

I like the one: "How close should my mouth be to it?"
or
How do you like your guitar sound - "I like it Hot, tight and fat" THAT ALWAYS KILLS ME

>I want to record an album..how much per song ??
> dude shows up two hours late..Yo, do you guys have guitars here ? ( we didn't)
>Hey Andrew..just do your magic man..what you gonna throw on it ?
>Hey, don't worry..if you get tired we can move a few "sliders" for you
>band walks is to first session. [bleep] looking instruments. They hand a CD over.."we wanna sound like this"..( distorted, clicky audio ripped from MP3s )

"Sorry about the steel being out of tune, but I've got a gig and can't stay and fix it"

I know a producer who once faked an entire string section, for an advert. Booked the studio, laid out the chairs, mic's, music stands, had the assistant leave some newspapers and coffee mugs out, etc...
Client turns up ... "Oh, you just missed the string section being recorded. It sounds great, check it out.."
Plays back pre-recorded synth string part, from a JV1080.
Client "Yeah, the real strings really help the warmth of the track!"
Producer included their fee as part of his invoice ....

this was taken from one of the people on gearslutz

Reminds me of a story my friend told me.He was the piano player for a very well known Canadian artist..I mean the artist is known for writing one of the greatest folk songs of all time.Something about 'strong winds'..Anyways the artist was being interviewed by a film crew at his ranch, and since he had no cattle of his own, he asked his neighbour to bring over a few head and had him walk them around in circles around the house, The interview was done in front of the big picture window,and it appeared on camera that the artist had a huge herd of cattle,to go along with his image.
