To be honest it seems to happen to me alot and im freakin sick of it!!
However when it comes to laying down my drum parts im incredibly anal...or at least id like to be.
My band is in the middle of recording an album but for my parts we needed a room etc so it turned out i only had 1 day to lay down parts for 13 songs. I got through it but sacrificed the tightness i would have liked for an incredible drum sound!
Anyway, im always finding parts i dont like it the recordings but thats the OCD in me coming out.
The guy who recorded the drums actually cut the recording on most of the songs too early hence the cymbals dont ring out as they should.
Just really pisses me off that some wankers care more about money than a good result.
Anyone else have stories of being rammed up the ass in recordings???

I usually have my parts worked out before I hit the studio to make sure I can nail the songs in as little takes as possible. Had a producer complain I was being too intricate and to clean it up so that he didn't have to spend too much time in pre-production. WTF....lazy producer.

I've had pretty good luck in studios. I tend to roll with it a little bit, though. The more you record, the less you'll worry about tiny details. You'll figure out how to get a good drum sound faster, and what needs to be done on the front end of things to make the "getting the sound" portion go more quickly.

Of course, if you have a really rigid engineer who insists on spending a day to get your bass drum sound, it can be frustrating.
