Homeskoolin’ Bonus “The Real Inside Shit”

Chapters
00:00 - Pro Tools transfer from mixer


Notes
Don’t feel bad if you don’t understand any of the shit these guys are doing…neither do I.

My genuine love and respect for great recording engineers is well documented…you guys have heard me say many times that the most important guy in the band in the engineer….you have also heard me say that when I walk into a session, the very first question I ask is “who’s engineering?”

you have also heard me say that even if Christ Himself put The Perfecf Band together for The Ultimate Comeback Record…even That Band could not overcome a terrible engineer…..

Simply put, no matter who you are, you GOTTA have a fella around that knows how to “run the PA”

with all that being said, I will admit that I am damned glad that I figured early on what side of the glass I personally belong on

I may not get this stuff…but I’m just glad there are folks that do…

Thanks to dear Seth Morton and dear Lance ….

and thanks to Ty’s mom for the validation at the end ….

The boys …they don’t wanna play any boring slow songs anymore…they wanna rock.

Dig this pocket little 9 year old Leo is laying down here friends …he’s a TOTAL band guy…team player….he never noodles when we are trying to work out arrangements…..he listens and pays close attention and occasionally throws out cool ideas…he gets frustrated with his brother for noodling too much when we are trying to work out arrangements…the boy is such a natural and whatever band he ends up in down the road is gonna be lucky to have him.
