I once had a rep for a local group come into our hidden studio for some mastering he wanted. He wanted to see what we had so I was like ok come on through. He came in and didnt ask about any gear. The first thing that came out of his mouth was of course " Do you have Pro Tools" and damn " Those Faders move on their own" Anyway,, my setup is no where near controlled enough nor geared to be a pro mastering suite, but you know why he wanted me to do it?
I heard him on his cell phone telling somebody that I had " Those Real Foams" on the wall. LOL
simple cheap @ss Mars Auralex's
Anyway, I got the Cd from him and started to put some " Pro " mastering on it and ended up calling him back and telling him he needs to remix it and send it to a Real Mastering Pro.
Cost = about 45mins of my studio time.
Charge= I F@cked his sister. " Priceless" LOL
