Boys,

I'm learning how to produce. In a producing situation, I find that I almost ALWAYS have to be over the top. "This vocal, right here is the most important thing in the universe." is kind of what goes through my head when I'm working with a singer.

In this setting, I'm producing Andrew07 here. I'm trying to motivate him to take the best path for him, his abilities, his name, and his studio.

I have a feeling that if he did call up the band and told him that he had officially fired them, one of the members would call and say "Why?". Of course, Andrew07 could say, "Because no one wants to work".

Then the guitar player would take a hint, put down the Xbox controller and practice for the 15 minutes required to get used to a click track. Done!

I've been in these situations. Sometimes you have to be extreme.

The other day a singer was 1.5 hours late for a session. What did I do? I left. The day was wasted but I have a feeling that it won't happen again.
