Come on bring em on!

Confucious? - You will be!

Confucius did say this-

'What you ask about is music; and what you like is sound. Now music and sound are akin, but they are not the same.'

six_wax · 11th November 2003

depends on the signal chain, I think...

Time is money.

Give credit where credit is due.

ok, let's see

"More isn't always better"

"Too many cooks spoil the broth"

"What you add sometimes isn't as important as what you take away"

"Garbage in, garbage out"

"It doesn't matter how the house looks if it's built on a weak foundation"

and one of my favorites...

"You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear"

Hmmm, do i sound like I've been working with some , ahem, "challenging" clients?

A poor carpenter blames his tools

Berolzheimer · 11th November 2003

There's never enough time or money to do it right, but there's always enough to do it twice

Cheap, fast or good- choose two.

a dB saved is a dB earned
(OK, I sort of modified that one, I don't think ol' Ben will mind.)

a couple of my favorite distortions:

We'll burn that bridge when we come to it

Half of one, six dozen of the other

Credit due to Ken Goerres on those two. Funny, when I use those in the studio, people don't usually catch them.

I only record(ed) what you just played...

The studio's an expensive place to learn how to play your guitar/drums/etc...

No matter how thin you slice it, it still comes out baloney...

Wow, that was really... close...

Nice!....try....
