Referring to vintage Jamaican Reggae & Dub recording techniques:

Ites blackbeltjonez, ites. I'm going to print up little labels to attach to some of my gear with these captions!

PS: Did you ever read the Mixerman Diaries where he describes putting special labels onto gear that wasn't even patched into the signal path just to keep some pushy studio exec from changing the sound? Too funny. The exec actually thought he was making all these improvements!

The 'Mixerman Diaries' are hilarious. They are an account of a top mixer working with a famous producer on a major label release from a very dysfunctional band, & all the nonsense that goes with such a project. It's a bit of 'Spinal Tap' for recording studio dwellers. There is nothing like human error to mess up every possible plan or system, no matter how carefully worked out.
