Studio Session From Hell

Never Work With Ignorant, UN-Organized People....

I Had A Session Last Night With This Guy Whose Trying To Get His Rap Group Together And Get Some Songs Done...

He Told Me That He Had Equipment At This Recording Spot At His Crib And Another Place.... But We Were Gonna Work At His Crib For Now...

I Get There With My MPC 2500 Enthaused And I Was Highly Dis-Appointed...

No Studio Monitors....No Headphones....No Audio Or MIDI Cables....A Shitty PC....Pro Tools Le (But Was Use-less Cause They Had No Pro Tools Hardware)

I Was Pissed...So I Went Back To My Crib To Get My Studio Monitors And Headphones....

I Come Back And There's Like 6 Other Dudes Who Came....They Were The Artist, This Pissed me Off Cause I Know How IMPATIENT Artist Are And The Fact I Had No Time To Prepare....

So....Check This Shit....All Them Niggaz Had Comfortable Seats While They Had Me With NO Seat....Monitors On A Folding Chair....WHILE They Were LOUDLY PLAYING INSTRUMENTALS In The Background As I Was Trying To Work....THEN HAD THE NERVES TO ASK ME IF IM FINISHED YET AND HOW LONG THIS GONNA TAKE!!!!!

So...An Hour And A Half Passed Since I Started And I Was Almost Done... They Had The Nerve To Ask Me To Stop Wat I Was Doing So They Could Record To Some Instrumentals On My MPC....(AND TRUST THAT THE BEAT WASNT WACK PPL)

Aint That Some Shit....Am I Wrong For Being Extremely Pissed? I Was Working For FREE TOO!!!!

Reply Ppl I Need Comments, Insight And Advice On This Shit!

lol at Bastard's comment.

You are right to be upset. I went through this same stuff with a group I was working with.

Everyday we'd spend 4 hours fucking around. I'd try to run a session but someone always had to go get something to eat or run out to get black and milds and/or energy drinks or buy or sell some bullshit.

Eventually it burned me out and I quit doing music for a good year.

I had been an emcee/ engineer.

Well, I'm back at it, learning the production end now. I learned to be very selective about who I work with now.

If you invovled with a project or people that aren't making quality music whether you like it or not it begins to reflect on you.

Even if people think you're cool they'll bunch you together with the folks your working with.

all depends for me, how good they are. If they are dope, then you gotta persevere, if the mediocre, get the fuck out of there!

So true...

As for the session from hell... First off if they don't have the equipment I would have never taken mine there I mean what if some shit got broken... I'd love to see you try and explain to a group like that why they owe you money to repair a monitor. As for the chairs did you even ask if you could have one? When they were hastlein you to hurry up why did you take it? I mean do they even know what they are talking about? When a session goes bad like that I'll usually just say fuck it... toss up a beat and a mic and yell freestyle time and let em all at it and when the time is up they think they accomplished something, you can get the fuck outta there, and you won't ever have to see em again... If the one dude was cool tho talk to him and explain why the shit was so bad and that if you work with them again it's happening YOUR WAY!!!

Peace.

its def gonna take money for me to unhook my mpc and bring it somewhere ..

double money for the monitors.. them shits is heavy

yes they seem very unprofessional from your description .. but at the same time it sounds like u also kinda put urself into that situation aswell. even before i attend a "pro" studio i do my research and chat with them to findout what they have, what system they are running (pro tools hd, logic, nuendo ..etc), and what type of mic(s) they have (very Important) theres NO WAY u should ever be in a position where u have an mp with nothing to plug it into lol... u live and u learn

Yep, it's over and lessons learned. You make me flashback when I'd be somewhere, not a cool environment, and stuck like chuck cause I rode with somebody.
