Here's a discussion we should have: what makes a recording engineer GREAT as opposed to merely good?
Strave said:There are a good number of people who can get a good sound so assuming we are talking about engineers who get the sound you desire....
Personality (honesty, kindness, compassion, character, humor) - Number one in my book. I write probably 30-50% of most all of my clients music, work with them very honestly and have a really close relationship with all of them. If they are going for a guitar tone or a vocal melody that I think is awful, I simply won't record it (with a "I'm not a fan of that part" or whatever) and give them some substitutes... in the end they thank me and ask me when they can come in again.
Also, a willingness to try ANYTHING new is important to me.
Bartman said:Your ideal engineer description sounds more like a producer to me. I might also disagree with you about refusing to record a part because you don't like it. Yes, it is good practice to pushback on a decision you know will ultimately be bad, but IMHO I think the line should be drawn at strong advice.

Middleman said:A great engineer is one who gets the train safely to the station on time without wrecking the train. Appliies to recording as well.
The only problem with that idea is that great engineers have better things to do than hang with us pleebs in low-ball forum.darnold said:Maybe it would be better if great engineers actually came and answered this. Maybe being a great engineer is only knowing what non of know about engineering.
