Soul Mates
1 more take
"That was good, but lets try one more take." the sound guy says to us.
We have been at this for hours, the same song over and over. I think it sounded fine the second time, but apparently not good enough.
"Andy try to calm down the screaming a little."
Is this guy serious? If I wanted to calm down the screaming I wouldn't of done it a thousand times. No way.
-----------------------------------------
"That is a wrap today guys, Andy a word."
Oh great I can only imagine the shit I am going to get.
The rest of the band leaves the studio and I am stuck in a small space with this guy who made me sing 1 song all day when we could've moved on, and the guy who believed in me enough to give my band a shot. Wonder how this will go.
"Why don't you take criticism well?" says the man who believes in me
"What do you mean?"
"Jake here asked you to cut back and you got louder."
"No disrespect, but I want it to sound like that. I thank you for believing in me and the band to give us a shot, but I want this sound, I don't want to dial it down." I stand my ground
"Ok."
And with that they walk away. Oh shit I blew it, the band will kill me, our dreams are gone....
Notes
sorry Andy's chapters are short right now...
