I'll report him this weekend if he hasn't complied.BIG warning light on this one, folks. He's way too casual about the item he has. "Small stain on one of the books" being the only fault? Feedback rating of five, with or without any negatives? Username "lame records"? Uh. I think most of us can see this one coming from a ways down the road.Foul

I have two that are that way... I have one up for auction right now that has the pre-rolled characters and handouts missing, actually photocopied. I bought it in a lot and was told it was complete, hoping to replace my beat up copy, it was worse.
Why are we selling? I'm graduating in December with my degree in Interactive Media. It's programming, web design, and audio/video. My friend is in the Live Sound and Commercial Broadcast degree, so we had a couple of classes together. I had a mixer and microphones for live sound for my band, and he was interested in recording. I told him about some recording equipment and he went out and bought it. When my brother's band needed to record, I asked my friend if he would be interested in using my mics and mixer with his equipment to record my brother's band. That's how Lame Rekords was started. I never really wanted a label, I just wanted to record as programming and web design was more of what I wanted to do, and audio/video was just a hobby. He said his girlfriend was going to help with the booking and promoting and our name was Lame Rekords. The domain was available, so they told me to get it. I was never really big on the K in Rekords. The domain with a C was also available, so I got that one, too. I made 4 designs, and he didn't like them. He wanted me to do four more. His girlfriend picked one and said to quit working so hard. As a label, we weren't really doing anything. We recorded my brother's band and I found out my friend has no idea what he's doing. He never used the recording stuff before. He had it for 6 months and only ever used 1 channel at a time. We're playing around for 2 hours trying to get this to work. He would also want money, just for showing up. He counted the two hours he tried setting up his equipment and wanted paid for those 2 hours. He was taking 80% of the money. All he had to do was show up with his computer, sit there while I set up my mics, then press a button. Then, it came time we needed more equipment. He was making 80% of the money, but magically, he had nothing when it came time to buy stuff. I had to buy everything while he played with his Freddy Krugger hand. Yes, he bought one of those plastic toy hands with the claws on it. He took all the money, I mean all the money, and spent it on food, movies, and toys. He still wanted 80% of the money. Part of that money was going to his girlfriend who not only bought nothing, but also did nothing…ever. Then, he wants to subcontract the work to the audio teacher at our school. He actually told me all he does it puts on 1 effect and then burns the track to a CD. He doesn't spend any time at all mixing or mastering. Just the 1 effect which takes two clicks. There's stuff we recorded months ago that's still not done. He's lazy. He claims it's because he doesn't have any more CD-Rs. He can't afford them. After all the money we made, he can't afford a $10 pack of blank CDs. Recently, his computer had problems and he took it back to the dealer because it was under warranty. It's going to be the first of the year before he gets it back, so we decided now would be the best time to quit. I would already have graduated and probably moving to a bigger city, and even if I still wanted to do some recording, I would probably get my own gear by then. I have no intentions of keeping a label, maybe a studio, but nothing more. This is a great opportunity (if you are starting this by yourself, or at least with people who car) if you are interested in running your own label.For more info and if you have questions, email me at [email protected]
