Hi everybody,

I'm a long time reader and finally decided to register to gearslutz.

I have gained so much knowledge from this site (big props and respect to Jules for making it all possible!) that it would have been a damn shame if I didn't register in the end...

So here I am writing my first post and I thought it would be appreciated if I introduced myself: (no worries I'll make it brief):

I live in France at the moment and am your typical bedroom producer striving to make a living out of his passion for music.

I compose hip-hop, rnb, and "pop" music mainly... I sample, I have some (decent) piano skills and I'll plan to learn bass and guitar in the near future...

My setup: DAW + 37 key controller + MPC 2000 XL/Ensoniq ASR 10 (which I bought recently and barely use... more on this later) + Ideas FOR DECADES.

Bottom line is:

in one of her songs Teedra Moses (extraordinary and yet so underrated female rnb singer) said "All you do is take... but you never give back".

So I finally decided to give back to a community that has provided me with so much knowledge (I seriously don't know where I would be as far as mixing is concerned without gearslutz) by signing up... I hope I'll be able to contribute to this forum in the future.

Lastly I wanted to say thank you to people who - through their contributions - have particularly helped me: (out of memory... I'll probably forget somebody)

e-cue (wow... so much experience and never shy to share his techniques), thetrillfactor, sirocco (from whom I have learned some great drum tips), themaestro (I love to see people on the come up), Tony B (for moderating the most dangerous sub-forum on all gearslutz), khameln (who used to post on gs... damn, hands down one of the best producer I've discovered through the internet), phillysoulman (very fresh viewpoints and undeniable experience... it's good to have at least someone going against the grain), and then the super big boys: Ken Lewis, Mike Dean, Samiam, Dave Pensado, JMH... It's nothing BUT incredible to have people that talented at our disposal.

I think that's it.

In my next post: my disapointment about some glorified hardware pieces (MPC, ASR, ...) and my love for software-based setups.
