sound engineers are geniouses.. you just need to get a proper one(in other words: NOT one that works at "Billie-Jeans big shoppe of sound-thingamadongs") |

Pay them upon delivery of the stuff or give them half before, half after. You can usually agree to that sort of arrangment if it's some smalltime engineer rather than someone at a studio. I got a sound guy to travel about 200 miles and work for 9 hours before he saw any cash. Needless to say he did a good job and was paid in full at the end of the night. With something as subjective as sound quality, it's entirely possible that they might give you an awful service and yet you'd be hard pressed to prove that it was their doing in court (if you're playing live). At least if you haven't paid them yet, the ball is in your court. As an aside, I've never had a bad experience with a sound engineer in a club. One was a bit poor at his job (he was also the manager and I think sound tech. was just a hobby of his) and didn't seem to know how to use the compressor properly. So we waited till he had gone to the other room of the venue and then a friend and myself sound checked quickly and adjusted the setting on the EQ and compressor and it sounded fine. As if to demonstrate his ineptitude, he didn't notice the change in sound quality when he came back :) If his dad is a cop, tell him the situation, he probably has a strong sense of right and wrong and as long as the son didn't mention tax before hand he may even make him hand over the mix... |

If you want to fuck him up (if you think he is asking for tax, but won't actually pay it to the govt.) ask him for a VAT number, if he doesn't have one he's scuppered. |

hahaha a cop with a strong sense of right and wrong...what world do you live in? Cops are the most crooked people in the world after politicians. |

Yes, but if it's their son and it'll reflect badly on them they will be keen to get it sorted- can you imagine the headlines in the local rag, "Local Policeman's son fined for tax evasion- father denies knowledge"? |
