Ray,
I come to GS to talk with people like you who are into the craft.
This dude is a thread spoiler. Guys like you and I want to share ideas, talk tech, tell stories and explore our community of music makers. When someone, anyone, turns a valid conversation into a pissing match.. I'm out. Of course, I will be trolling threads looking for ways to help and learn with you guys, but I have no patience for people who can't play well with others. This is serious business for me. It's my life. It's my career. It's my passion. I think I've learned a thing or two over the last 12 years as a professional mixer, producer and engineer...as well as the last 25 years as a musician.
This guy, IsayitOVERandOVERagain, thinks he knows it all. The stuff he says makes it obvious that he thinks he's better than the rest of us. I've seen his type before. I'd bet my last dollar that if he pulled that crap with a professional client, they would kick him to the curb. What makes me laugh at him is that I will wake up tomorrow and prep for my next major label mix, which might be another worldwide hit, and I will be happy to comp a vocal or two if the record will benefit from it. I could care less that he thinks he's a purist or whatever. He's entitled to his opinion... but hijacked the thread because he felt that he was right and everyone else is wrong. This is the definition of arrogance.
Kudos to my very good friend Ken for telling "it-like-it-is-no-matter-what-this-guy-says."

Yeah I know, I spread myself thin.
I'm sure there are folks out there in the same boat who feel the same way I do. Any breaks we can get are Greatly appreciated. People who are as deep into the music biz know it is not for the weak at heart. Good advice is better than money (money comes & goes, good advice is forever). |
