2: Yes Genelecs suck. ADAM's are sweet but they are going to suck in a few months. It's really not worth even listening to music unless you have Barefoot monitors, but those suck too.

3: If you used an SM57 and a crap preamp and somehow wound up with awesome sound, it was an accident. If you used an SM57 with a Great River or other "G" lettered preamp, and it sounds awesome, it was your plan all along.

4: If you used an SM57 and a Great River or other "G" lettered preamp and your sound sucks it was the SM57 that screwed it up.

5:Correction about Apogee...Everything Apogee makes is amazing except for the AD8000. That one is utter crap because it's older now, and that's just how it is. Convertors stop sounding good after 10 years on the market.

6: If you don't clock your system with a Big Ben you might as well not be doing audio production because you are a complete idiot.

7: You are an absolute buffoon and imbecile if you connect your audio gear together with anything other than Mogami or Canare cable. In fact, you are better off using coat hangers and tape if you don't have one of these two cable brands for everything you do.

8: Monster cable is so low on the list it might as well be the B-Word.

9: Is your room treated? If not you have NO HOPE, repeat NO HOPE of ever, EVER recording anything useful or worthwhile at all.

10: If you want to use an analog tape machine and you are under the age of 25 and/or have only been into recording for a few years, do not bother, because you will never ever figure out how to properly align and run a tape machine.

So funny. I love this thread.thumbsup
