Personally.... I was very interested to hear what other people did with the mix. I don't see it as devalueing Vlado or as selfpromotion. I actually value it as educational. REALLY !

Right on Marteen, you have a music lovers mentality and a strong sense of self. You are not identified with your work, it's just work, to share and compare and improve. A very healthy approach. Then there are the power lovers, clique heads, and other politicos that are identified with their work and the social pyramid of credibility, and thus promote the same. Self-promotion? Yes it is.

Coming from your pious examples in the past those words cut, um ... dull? It's amazing how morally righteous some folks get when anything challenges their norms of conduct. And to agree with your excellent point ... why are you not asking Lindell to post these song files elsewhere in the first place? By your own standards this thread was self-congratulations and self-promotion from the get go. "Look at my mix and master by VM for $495/hr." Suddenly I'm at fault? Interesting. You defend your clique, and thus miss your hypocrisy.
Folks I'd be happy to be seen as 'competing' with anyone at any time .... but I'd appreciate the same mix file to work from before you get out your robes and gavels
As for the idea of "spam" Robot, you have a narrow and vindictive defintion at work here. We could all easily call 'spam' on the advice and opinions made in many other threads by each of the more venomous posters in this thread, yet I accept that some element of self-promotion and clique promotion is par for the course on the forums.
My Mic is best, my Pre Amp best. I like my ME best. I defend my friend the ME because he's in my clique and that's good for us all. I dont bother with negative emotions/police work when these posts come up, and they are everywhere. Some people are more subtle about self-promotion, but it's all the same thing, and it's totally fine with me. It could also be seen as enthusiam, friendship, sharing, taste, or a host of other things. There are many ways to look at it thaty dont require definitive assumptions and personal bashing.
