How many recording engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

[Jack Hammer]

I don't know, I'm asking you? Everyon here knows everything anyway so why would you now look here expecting an answer as opposed to the usual disertation on why the choice of light bulb is not correct, whether it should be a tube or solid state light bulb, digital or analogue light bulb, compressed or not compressed light bulb, with or without reverb, etc. and so forth and meanwhile, we remain in the dark.

It only takes 1

Recording Engineers don't change light bulbs. That's the assistant's job.

Yeah Senheisser. Great!! LOL

 

[chessrock]

Well, I'd say you'd need only one guy change the actual bulb . . .

but at least one more to look at his work and say he could have done it better.

I think they'll fix it in the mix

Best answer yet...

It takes one engineer to change the light bulb, another one to mix it, and a third highly-paid person to master it.

I know I prefer good ol' analog light bulbs, they're warmer.

I get tired of these vague questions that are impossible to really answer. Are we talking about halogen, tungsten, flourescent and most importantly what is the budget?

How many A&R people does it take to change a light bulb?

 

[sjjohnston]

I don't know, what do you think?

 

[Tom Hicks]

The engineer hands the light bulb to the lead singer and watches while the world revolves around her...voila!

Doesn't matter; it's still the assistant's job.

Best get a qualified electro-technician. After all, someone else pays. And you can have a coffee.

What kind of room are you trying to light?

 

[subtractor]

You can also use a flashlight! Have you tried that?

 

[Bigus Dickus]

Whatever the answer, for God's sake don't try and change it yourself! Leave that for the trained professionals.

 

[sjjohnston]

Any decent engineer doesn't need light, he knows where everything is and he doesn't need to read any stupid labels or numbers. Use your ears, not your eyes!
