I'm not accusing... I'm just curious. If you admit to not knowing the difference between recording and mixing, but you're using a somewhat advanced and reasonably expensive ($750 USD?) program, doesn't that seem strange?
And of course I had to learn. However, there were no home computers or recording software when I got into this. The only way to get experience was in the studio.
It just seemed fishy. I apologize for my non-witty remarks. However, there are much less expensive and far easier programs out there than Sonar Producer's Edition. That program assumes that you're quite proficient at recording and mixing already.
Once again, I apologize. (in bold even!) I'm usually immune to making knee-jerk comments such as that. I hope we're still buds.
