Is it even clear that guy isn't just completely lying about everything?
Is there real evidence he mastered anything?

Is it even clear that guy isn't just completely lying about everything? Is there real evidence he mastered anything? This is some generic bullshit, and the guy even uses the wrong terms. Mastering engineers are now supposed to remix recordings??? It would pass a little better if he mentioned adding compression and limiting, or boosting a few frequencies, but remixing 1992 recordings at a mastering lab? The whole point of this humblebrag fictional story is to show that he has integrity, which matters more to him than a $500k contract for his employers. But there's no way a complete unknown in the industry would tell directly a "famous client" that "he was stupid and a fool". Why would a famous client actually have a direct conversation with the nephew without an higher manager or supervisor being there? Why would the famous client (with 25 years of recordings) ask a mastering studio in Toronto to do a remix of master tapes that must feature 4 track, 8 track, 16 track, digital, etc. in the lot? Why isn't the label involved? That's like asking a nail salon in Winnipeg to perform plastic surgery. People here have already expressed very valid doubts that John Morris is a troll. He may use an alias, but there are no Morrises operating a mastering studio there, and definitely no mastering credit for a John Morris. He's basically a caricature of an incel, his stories are always written to make him look like a hero, while they're suspicious as fuck, and he looks like the love child of Chris DeVoe and MacGyver (two men I would never let around children, by the way). The guy, here, is just saying that, in his profession, he would do exactly as Steve, that he actually did it in front of a major client, and that he was fired for speaking the truth. Even Steve's stories aren't that extreme.

I was thinking some of the same things when I wrote my early post. Right, It almost seems like he’s troll and fucking with SHites. He doesn’t talk from experience, it’s like everything he types is a cut n paste from gearslutz, it’s not even convincing sounding at that. Even Doug Douche is more believable then this idiot. “ M.E. Who Remixes recordings”. Technically, it does happen from time to time, but it’s more exception than the rule. There are a few guys out there who will master from “mix stems”, but this usually falls under “rescue effort.” I did find a John Morris spewing like a douche fountain, from a recording article comments section, circa 2014? The topic was “mixing and mastering with headphones.” lol, sure sounded like his handiwork....

There is an earlier thread on "John Morris" somewhere in SC. I couldn't be bothered to find it, but it is here somewhere. Of course the guy is completely full of shit. I still believe it is a Steve Hoffman sock puppet, though: Hoffman's crackpot idea of "dumbing it down." For one thing, who else consistently spells it as "disks"? And who else would say stupid shit like "Not Gospel. Just my Canadian nickel." (Certainly not anyone from Canada.)
Besides, who pays "half a million dollars" for remasturbation? And who solicits the opinion of the mastering monkey about their business plans?
Plausible. In an earlier poat when I first joined SC, I mentioned Hoofy lurked A.E. forums. This mind numbing drivel “Morris” is poating, as I said sounds like poat rips from Gearslutz. IMO, 1. The guy is real, but he’s mentally out to lunch. 2. It’s most likely sTeVe and a fake photo.

john morris on November 22, 2016 at 5:25 pm “ I tried mixing through a pair of Sennheier HD-280 and 95 percent of the time my mixes sucked and blew (pardon me). Too much low and mid bass. Played through speakers everything sounded wrong. The levels of the tracks were all off. Now I Mix at low levels through a pair of Krk-5’s nearfield monitors. For the low bass (40-80hz) I occasionally switch to my audiophile Energy speakers. Spiked of course. Not studio accurate, but it does Give me a good idea of the low end of my mixes. Using these two in tandem gives me the best results so far. Sorry, the Rocket Krk-5’s don’t produce anything usuable below 90hz. Well maybe in the testing lab under perfect conditions. Listen up fellow mixers. Mixing with monitors doesn’t mean you have to mix loud. That’s old school. A lot of engineers at Motown Records during the sixties suffered hearing loss due to the loud mixing levels blasted by the infamous Altecs 640E. The mastering engineer for DCC and Audio Fidelity, Steve Hoffman called them ‘ear bleeders.’ Mixing at low levels (50db) will give you better results.” Way to go champ! Why didn’t you just “mix” your TURDS down at uncle’s studio? Instead, you’re using a pair of $99.00 dollar headphones and a cheap ass pair of Rokit brand Krk-5 ...which are “consumer grade studio monitors” that retail $250.00 a pair. “Home recording gear much?” (and you can’t mix on top of it.) Boy, your a real “seasoned pro”... 20 years under your belt, huh? I hope you’re not “mastering” all your 500k jobs with this shit... www.recordingrevolution.com/should-you-mix-on-headphones-or-monitors/(In comments) this John Morris asshole, whoever the fuck he is has been debunked, as far as I’m concerned....

Speaking of vim and vigor... Socks. There’s two John Morris’s and they’re both puppets working in tandem. The one that’s out of view from SC is being used for “SHiteville recruiting ” and narcissistic supply extractions. I wonder if the real MR Blue shirt remembers when he opened that 10 year old “zombie thread” and got his ass handed to him by Fletcher? Did you not know who he was? lol. Must of been flying high on the Vicodin that night. Whew...good thing Uncle Jack Morris , The 23 Stone Engineer, Seven world studio AND Tank Studio all “located” in downtown Toronto, were there to help bail you out. Pathetic. Morris #1.

Well COLA, I guess that depends on what one would define as “work”.
(A.) Trolling Online forums under numerous sock puppet accounts. Trolling his own forum under numerous sock puppet accounts AND getting “snitty with the SHites”. Also, picking up bottles & cans on the side of the road, in a desperate attempt to keep the internet from being cutoff. * Current status:Employed.
(B.) EQ Consultant: * Current status: PERMANENTLY Unemployed

*crickets* They aren’t letting sticky paws go anywhere near the good reel. Hoofy better get that SHite “Plextor” to help him with a digital rip and Izotope “Clip Restoration”.

Now that’s a superfluous “s” if ever I saw one...
