LOL.
Yeah I remember that.
The same is becoming true of the samples on 'Distorted Reality' IMO.
The same guy is probably responsible for both (talk about World
domination!!!), Eric Persing, former sound designer at Roland and now head
dude at Spectrasonics.
Yeah I can't do ad's, in fact I'm on the point of giving up on tv altogether
and going back to performance.
I'm not thick skinned enough to spend days agonising over 1 minute's worth
of music, only to get one line of feedback from the director, usually "I
don't like the bass drum" or "can you change one note?". The occasional "wow
I really like it, but can you change the bass drum?" would be a dream
reaction for me. A dream I'm still waiting to happen. LOL
Advertising jingles..........
Neil Dorfsman once told me a telling tale.
He's engineered and mixed artists such as Bruce Springsteen and Dire
Straits.
He was called in to mix a Wrigley's commercial. Despite the music being 40
seconds long or something, he spent the day EQing, balancing and generally
agonising over the mix (as you do). When he thought it sounded pretty good,
the client was called in. After playback, Neil turned round and said "what
do you think?". The client looked kind of down and replied "I
dunno.........it just doesn't say GUM".
Doh!
