Good idea on the forum suggestion. I've been thinking that this place needs a few boards for aspects of music other than recording. Of course this is homerecording.com ....but there's so much more to recording music than technical jargon and equipment reviews. There's that personal side that we all like to talk about...stories and ideas that revitalize ambition.
Anyway, I think that a General Discussion forum would really take care of a lot of "I didn't know where to post this" messages. Maybe a whole new group of topics like the ones you suggested would be in order.
I tell ya what, that MP3 Mixing clinic has really inspired me at times. Hearing someone else describe their recording technique...and then downloading their tunes...it really drives me to keep working. And posts like this one by Rockit Recorder have the same effect.
I guess my point is that if this place is the "university" of home recording...then we need a student lounge

Great post. I went through a similar situation in which I didn't play the guitar much or write any music for about 2 years while living with a woman. "lot's of people talking/few of them know/the soul of a woman was created below" However, I got me a new woman now who is actually HELPING me to seriously get back into it. I think that you have to be very carefull with your love-life if you're going to play music. You need to look for the woman who doesn't flinch at your "wall of guitars."
Must be ten times harder for a woman as men are typically more insecure. I can't imagine my girlfriend staying up until 3 in the morning while I'm sleeping. I guess that's why all female musicians are lesbians.
Sheesh, I'm just kidding
