I'm here in a studio while the band is mixing their EP and I hear the engineer say, "Uh Oh! What did I just do?" Scary moment indeed.
So let's hear some more phrases that scare you to death in the studio....

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Columbus, Ohio | | Me: Where is that hum coming from?
Engineer: I don't know
Me: Can we get rid of it when we mix it down?
Engineer: Probably
A few days later during mixing......
Me: There's that hum. Can we take it out.
Engineer: Yeah, hold on let me......wait.....what just happened?
Me: What?
Engineer: Never mind, we lost the hum.......and the drum tracks too.
Me: ....then....  ....then....  ...then .... 
(True story. Happened last year at a friend's home studio.)

"Great tambourine overdub. Say, does anyone happen to know which track we recorded the guitar solo on?"
My personal favorite is still, "No, I didn't save! These things are supposed to be crash-proof!"

I think I got it figured out this time, let's try it and see."
In he defense, he mostly did jingle work with only 1 or 2 performers. |
