It's the music biz man...So long as when you are dealing with people you are professional that is the important thing. Look at some of the crap that goes on, yet behind the smoke you can be sure the vast majority of people involved are professional.

While one person may find demeaning women unprofessional, another may get just as turned off from something religious, or too commercial, or poppy or whatever. A mix engineer is not credited as anything other then that, what they think or feel has nothing to do with their professionalism at all, churn out good work, deal with people properly and you will be fine.

You are working things out still, finding your way and what works best for you, anyone who claims that to be Nedish has some serious issues.

If he is a good guy that is the most important thing...we tend to like some pretty weird and crazy music sometimes that in all rights could very well be censored, but, art is something that needs to have loose barriers and no restrictions or censorship, it needs freedom of speech, regardless of anything else. Deal with good people and that is the most important as that will reflect more then anything else. Deal with nothing but scum and douches and they will reflect negatively upon you...

Lastly, its the musiz biz...we're all completely nutters, we have to be...Take care in what you do, strive for the best it can be, be reliable, and churn out good work, and you will be taken seriously...
