Note to self: never cross an engineer…Genius revenge on a hardcore/metal band called Altitudes who didn’t pay their sound engineer for a recording session or video – he made a free EDM dance remix of their frankly poor track (great video production though, although the band are intentionally funny in parts)! Very funny.
I’m guessing this happens quite a lot with well-known bands and acts too, but in that case the studio and engineers have to suck it up…and this is one case where some suburban wannabe (and not exactly poor kids, judging by their gear) got their just desserts. As a contractor I know what it’s like to be strung along without being paid – for upto 6 months in one case – and it wasn’t a small company either.
