Hi there! Let's share our stories on the clients going mad!
Let me start with my today's story:
Here's this rapper guy, he brings me some funky boom-bap beats and we record his rap over them. What he did wrong:
1) He consistently kept his mouth too far away from the mic; he would rap one line right into the mic, and the next line somewhere to the left where his lyrics sheet was.
2) He promised to pay "soon when he gets a job". At the same time he bothered me with his presence every day (i had a high temperature and terrible headaches)
3) He was OH SO SURPRISED when he learnt my clients are given full ready tracks only after they paid me. (he was like "are you crazy"? "i really need it now", etc.)
4) He would rush me to mix and master stuff. My ears are ringing, and this guy wants the thing mixed and mastered NOW.
5) When he gets the track via internet (yeah...), he starts overreacting like a PMSing bit??. In 10 minutes he generated a couple kilobytes of insults.
6) THEN, after I deleted all his sessions and stated I'm not working with him, he finally decides to change his tone and send some reference tracks... trap, dirty south, crunk tracks. How was I supposed to mix this funky boom-bap with this kind of reference anyway?
7) Finally, when I say I deleted everything and nothing can be done with the track he got, he gets mad one more time. Now he harasses our common friends and makes them call me to ask stupid questions for him. By the intonation of my friends, he sure demonized me :-)
And here is the question dear sirs: wtf was I supposed to do? :-)
