Bands are especially trippy for a gifted producer to work with, and incredibly more difficult after they have made something of a name. In most cases these super- egos, which most artists have to be to do what they're doing, manage to convince themselves that they don't need the producer, that they can do what he's done for them just as easily without his talent, knowledge, objectivity, sym- pathy,associationand patience. Sometimes they fire him for another producer they can manipulate,orthey try to cut themselves. If anyone would care to document these flashes, he would probably find that in four cases out of five, the resulting recordings are inferior, or at least less successful than those made with the canned producer.
