I hate acapella so fucking much.

Yeah yeah, I know, haha, but I was thinking of more civil places than China.

Wouldn't that be where the parents come into play instead of the state?

Yup!

Ah ok! Ok, to put things into perspective, I was mixing an ad for Wells Fargo and the VO was mentioning specific things you could buy to get credit back, so I thought it was only these specific things that would give you credit. It makes a bit more sense now.

That is so fucking foreign to me. To encourage people to spend money to get points they can use to buy more stuff seems extremely toxic. Especially if your financial situation is dire to begin with. Do these points disappear if you don't use them within x amount of months?

Not that I know of. I know that if you get a MasterCard you can insurances included with it. But I’ve never ever been rewarded anything for spending money.

Sounds weird to me.

Ok, I'm way out of my league now, but I just stumbled upon something I've never heard of before - or I might have heard about it but I've never considered what was being said... Does Wells Fargo offer a credit card that they'll reward you for using? I can not see that leading to anything good and from the outside looking in that seems like an extremely unhealthy to put on your clients.

I can't underline this post enough. Just gave the previews a quick listen on iTunes and boy... if this had been released by any other rapper they would have been laughed off stage.

Argh, fucking shit! Got to see him live 3 years ago, I think it was. It was a fucking mess, but I loved it.

Stay safe - and get vaccinated.

Got one ending in 12 Minutes. Need the other four but I am a bit stuck.

HA!

Oh wow, is her band in any way related to The Whittakers?

Ha! Well, I'm self-employeed and have been working in my current studio for 2 years so this sort of thing shouldn't happen. I'm supposed to talk to the guy who got back to me earlier today and I'm simply going to ask him if everyone at the office knows how bad that voice over session went.

You just described the internet in the best way possible.

Monday was fucking horrible and I'm still feel like shit because of it. A client (my best client I should say) asked if I could be in charge of recording a voice over with a voice talent while he and his client would be listening in on it via a Zoom-like program. I said yes, and the voice talent came over. I sign in to the system and has set everything up so that everyone could hear what the voice talent said in the mic and so I could play it back to them. The system isn't really meant for this sort of thing but I was able to reroute things to make it work. That's when shit started falling apart. Each time the client asked to listen to what had just been recorded, I would switch some things around so they could hear what my DAW was playing. But for some reason this caused the delay from the mic to the voice talent's headphones to get bigger and bigger. So in the end he couldn't wear the headphones because it was just confusing him. As if that wasn't bad enough, the program we used to talk to the client started crashing every time I would switch programs. At one point I had to restart my computer and sign in again. The delay was still there though and the voice talent accidentally said right into the microphone, "dude, I can't work with this". I was pulling my hair out. It was so fucking embarrassing and once we were finally done I called my client and said "I am so so so sorry, I have no idea what happened" and his respond was, "It's fine", and maybe it's just my insecurity about the whole situation talking here, but it certainly didn't feel like "it was fine". What should have taken 5-10 minutes ended up taking 30 minutes. I am so worried that this whole scenario had caused permanent damage to my relationship with my client. I haven't heard from anyone since it happened and I've written two emails to two separate people in that company since then and they haven't replied - yet. Jesus fucking Christ. UPDATE: Just heard back from one of them and I think I overreacted, hahaha... fuck me.

Charlie Watts My father is going to be devastated when he finds out.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to make a tune using only modular stuff, hard synths, and whatever instruments I had lying around. Unfortunately, I had to use a couple of soft synths so after a while my idea went straight out the window. I’m on my way out so I’ll give feedback on some tunes later this weekend ?

Damn. This is nice! Like, really fucking nice.
