at other times i'm comparing one preamp to another, waking in the middle of the night and thinking 'lavry or apogee', 'osa or sca', 'rockwool or glasswool'....
can somebody help me understand, i wake up with a song in my head everyday, and that song has nothing to do with 'sound quality', but i *think* about sound quality all thie time... |
Other than music /gear/production forums...nobody gives a shit about what anything was recorded with or that they feel like the guitars have too much 2k or the vocal has too much reverb....
Songs first...!
Sometimes I just want to enjoy the moment and feel the energy of the music....I just don't wan't to hear how it could have been 'micd' better or that the room need more treatment or that the plugins sound thin and the vocal is overcompressed....and that the bridge is too long and that intro guitars are too quiet...and flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap.
Too many folks lose touch with the beauty of music for the sake of the music.
'Thinking' about quality is great, but not inspite of the goal (which seems to have gotten blurry for some)
