lets say that a trio called Chalkzone ( from nick tv show ) which consists of Rudy Tabootie, Penny Sanchez and Snap asked you to be a producer. Would you produce for them. For those fans of my other threads, what insturments would your musicians use.

I would take them to an imaginary castle and have them record straight to imaginary wax cylinder. Then we would have our release party at an imaginary cloud restaurant and eat parnsip gizzards and drink shoe-polish wine.

The Oberheim Ob-7x, Linn-9400, Roland Saturn 2300 and the Yamaha D-3

Matos OTM, but in addition, I would compute future royalties on my cloudy cloud calculator.

I'm guessing I would ask them to play their own instruments. Or, if they wanted to play something else, I would ask them what it was, and then try to help them get it. Whatever it was, I would probably run all the reverb through chorus effects with the low end dropped out, and then pan the reverb reflections off to either side. Also I would keep saying "This would sound really cool with a disco clap. We can do them by hand, it'll be totally fun."

I would drink a case of Pixie juice and pass out with my head on the imaginary console.

Sack them all and replace them with session players and/or myself! Hah!

I would have WWDBD? tatooed on one hand and WWKFD? on the other, as David Briggs and Keith Forsey would be my guiding spirits. I would have Steve Albini engineer and Eric Valentine mix. They would cover "Web In Front."

I'd record them and then replace half of their contributions with samples ripped from Loveless, or I'd distort the samples to an appropriate speed, add echo/delay, high-pass filter bits and pieces, phaser other parts, reverb more parts, and then reconstruct the rhythm section to Public Image Limited's "Careering" for its foundation.

I would record them, and then discard everything except for sampling one vocal syllable from each tune, and then produce retro-acid jacking tracks with 303 squiggles, 808 drums - and the vocal stuttering. I would then make them go onto TV shows to promote their tracks with guitars and drum kits and get them to mime to the tracks...

...with hilarious results.

I think it would depend on the imaginary paycheck.

I would build a windowless hallway that stretched from the studio, in Jersey City, to a very small, foil-lined room somewhere north of Kansas City. Then I would demand the drummer walk there, all the way there, with a microphone, 2,000 miles of spooled cord, and his kit -- which I will have reduced to one stick and the side of his own head.
