i hear ya!

i worked with a band (kids... late teens to early 20s) in january that were so good, so effortless, at making good music, it blew my mind... and i've known people over the years who just didn't have to think to create something incredible. but, i dunno, it's tape op... if he did record the way he says, and got those results, it's pretty amazing, but not really illuminating the way the information is presented for a non-fan... i read almost every article of that mag, fan of the subject or not...

for example, i liked the article on mmj a few issues back - again, not a fan - but i could relate to alot of the information, the changes made throughout the process, why certain gear was used over others, etc...
