...thinking I give a fuck about selling music....

I've heard your stuff...the thought never entered my mind. :laughings:

Oh...and thanks for the little girl shit (how predictable)...that's twice now you've done it...meanwhile you've been spewing vile insults in every post you make.
I guess your ego is getting bruised.

I'll be returning you the favor soon enough....
 
May it please the court: for the record (and any newbs who may one day come across this train wreck):

Criticizing someone's music is a very harsh thing to do. This is a "creative community" and we're all at different points on the learning curve. In my years on this forum, I have almost invariably been positive and encouraging with folks and their recordings--even when they were downright awful.

And yet I have (and now others have as well) publicly criticized Miroslav's music. So what's the difference?

When people acknowledge that they're on that learning curve and are open to suggestions, and hungry for knowledge--they deserve help, and they'll get it--no matter how good or bad their stuff is at that time.

But when someone is consistently a pompous, hot-air-filled, arrogant, condescending, wind bag--they have to be called on it. There are too many newbies who stumble on to this site, and to them someone like Miroslav can make himself sound like a real expert. In cases like that, all we have to judge the credibility of one who acts like such a know-it-all is their music.

I do this all the time--I dig until I find someone's recordings and that tells me all I need to know about whether I'll take them seriously on the forum.

There are tons of people on this board who are farther along that learning curve than I am, and to a person, they're helpful and decent to work with. Oh, they may be real smart asses (Greg and EZ come to mind! :)) But they're not condescending and they don't argue for pages and pages just to show everyone how right they are.

If Miroslav acted like a mere mortal, and professed to be on the learning curve like the rest of us--I'd have never offered my opinion about his stuff. But the fact is that he constantly holds himself out as an authority. He talks down to folks all the time, and I (and some others) obviously have had enough.

Considering I've only ever done so with 3 folks here on the forum, I'm comfortable with my record.

Well...maybe the problem is your perception.
I've seen you and others go plenty "know it all" many a time...so don't preach to me now.
I just tend to stick to the points I make, which are my own opinion, and EVERYONE on these forums has opinions (you certainly are full of them)...
...so don't talk about anyone acting as an "authority".
I already said it few times...we are ALL on the same HR boat…you and the homeboyz ain’t showing me any gold nuggets.

AFA "talking down"...you've been very rude in a few threads now...and your boys Greg and EZ have been spewing personal insults throughout this thread, and Greg spews personal insutls in just about every thread he goes to (and this is who you side with).
So now you wanna play some "it ain't us, it's all him" angle...OK, whatever helps you sleep.
I don’t start personal attacks...but I don't walk away from them either.

Oh…and your last post is such a load of pompous horseshit, and you have the nerve to call me a windbag!
Why don't you convene a committee with your homeboyz and then you guys can pass judgment on my music and my credibility! :laughings:
Oh dear...oh dear...they’re criticizing my music. My ego and my audio/music future is now on the line!

GOD...you guys are so full of yourselves.
Get a fucking grip!
No one dragged you into this thread...but you’ve looking for a fight and stewing for the last week or two after you attacked me in another thread and it didn't get you anywhere, so now you’re just pulling a typical junior high clique maneuver…”lets pile on”…
...how very lame! :rolleyes:

I'd love to stay up all night and play...but I've got to go to work tomorrow...so I'll check back with you "homeboyz" in the AM.
 
Notice I ended my last post with, "Solamente."

It's a Spanish word that translates literally as "only." As a colloquialism, it is used when one is finished speaking (at least among the Mayan tribes I hang out with in the jungle!) and it means, "this is my word, and it says it all. I have no more to say on the topic."
 
Great...let's hope it sticks...'cuz you've been following me around for a few threads now spoiling for some kind of fight...???...heck, you even dogged me via PMs at one point......it was becoming embarrassing.

I don't recall ever spoiling for a fight with you....or anyone for that matter.
 
I think what we need is a studio modelling box, stick any old $10 mic in front of any old $10 instrument, select studio: Abbey Road, Sun Studios, etc etc. Out pops the sound of the studio.

In fact we could take it further, dial up the engineer you want it to sound like, the producer, the musician, than any old talentless anyone can sound like:

Eric Clapton, on a classic Les Paul, through a vintage fender twin.
Recorded at Abbey Road with a C12 microphone.
Engineered by Alan Parsons and produced by George Martin.

Perfect world.

Don't forget the new Composer Modeller........so my new songs sound like they were written by McCartney.

mmm in retrospect that wouldnt be that difficult without composer software


love love me do, you know I love you :D
 
...but I don't walk away from them either.

A personal problem which you have in common with so many Americans, and probably several other persons of various nationalities. Must be a genetic defect in the species.....

Makes sense to me. Well written.

Excellent post, man.

Miro - for what it's worth, I'm a pretty easygoing guy and I try to get along with everyone. Usually it's not very hard. But, more often than not, I find whenever I'm talking with you I really have to try.

Hell, man, earlier in this thread I found myself having to defend modeling as a valid technology to you. I'm as big a tube snob as they come and never touch the things myself (they don't work for what I do, personally), but even I'm not a quarter as condescending and cocky about it as you.

There's that saying that gets kicked around on the net a lot - :opinions are like assholes, everyone has one." That's true. What it doesn't mean, though, is that just because it's your opinion you get free reign to defend it to the death and mock anyone who disagrees with you. This thread would have ended seven or eight pages ago had you just said, "that's cool, I don't personally like modelers but if you're happy with the results you're getting, right on!"
 
I thought the saying goes *opinions are like SM57s ....everybody has one* . ;)



:cool:
 
Well...maybe the problem is your perception.
I've seen you and others go plenty "know it all" many a time...so don't preach to me now.

Ive only seen Whitstrat post as a know it all...but it seems he hasnt got what it takes to get out of the basement and go pro.

Like I say...in the end it isnt a bunch of people in a recording forum im selling stuff to...the people writing my checks dont really know the difference about 100% of the time....lol.
