I had a client over at the studio last night. He is a heavy gigging musician who ONLY uses tube amps and vintage guitars from pawn shops. I suppose you can say that he fancies himself a purist. We started off last nights session with me micing up his Marshall amp with an SM57 and Beyerdynamic M160. The problem was that his amp started acting strange and making noises so i told him "listen bro the session is dead in the water unless you want to try the Axe FX" He looked at me as if i asked him to eat shi#. At first he was adamant and refused to even plug into it. So I turned on the Axe, and dialed up the same model Marshal amp and i used an m160 and SM57 in the IR. suddenly hes like " hey maybe i can try that, but im telling you now that i am using this as scratch tracks only!". i said okay lets record "scratch tracks". We did. He loved them and we are using them on the song. Love my Axe!
Y'all think that i should inform the client that i have been using Auto-Tune and Melodyne on his vocals for the last 2 years? He has no idea b/c i use it subtly but i would love to see his face scrunch up when he finds out the truth. He is one of those annoying yuppy purists that doesn't use his ears to find tone- if its a tube amp and sounds like shi# he loves it - if its digital and sounds amazeballz he hates it. - Glad i was able to prove that punk wrong!
