This screw-up still haunts me.
The tone was perfect.
Raw, wild, locked in like a pitbull on a steak.
No polish. All punch.
We’d been tracking for days, six songs deep, guitars layered like lasagna.
Two amp heads. Two cabs. A whole forest of mics.
It sounded glorious.
Then the artist flew left for tour.
And we needed to tweak the tone.
“No problem,” I thought.
“We’ve got the DI. I’ll just reamp it real quick.”
Cue horror music:
No notes. No photos. Nada.
Just me, chasing a ghost tone through the hallways of my own frustration.
And here’s the worst part.
It wasn’t a freak mistake.
It was a system failure.
That was the moment I stopped winging it.
Stopped scribbling on napkins and hoping they'd survive the drummer’s coffee.
I built a real solution — one that’s saved my sessions more times than I can count.
