This is the kind of thing that renders online learning tools useless. I have watched Ethan's YouTube video and there are some interesting points that seem to founded on solid science but in my opinion I really feel that extreme analyzation of these things kill creativity. That is not meant as an insult to Ethan at all but at some point someone recording onto tape said wow if I push the gain into this certain piece of equipment it sounds better. I started this thread for insight not debate. As well thought out and presented as it was, Ethan's advice has not helped me much. It kind of made me want to read and read and read when instead i should have been recording.
Please don't take this as insult because you do have valid points and some fact to back it up. Its just not what everyday recording enthusiasts want to hear. I read your article also and was lost. I just asked a simple question about gain staging and wanted a straight forward answer. Your contribution to music seems to be a very analytical one and i just want to make better sounding music without a microscope. I will give you credit because its obviously a passion to you but i think you and I are seeing things from a Doctor, patient standpoint. You will explain why antibiotics work and how they do, I just want to take the medicine and get better without becoming a Doctor.
Please, if you have more info to help I would love the contribution but at least keep it to where it makes sense on a creative level and not a scientific one. Again, no disrespect.
And I will watch and read these again for a better understanding of things, and it will help when I can understand it better.
