Greatings to all Home recordists and Attention: to acousticians and fellow professionals alike. I've been involved with music for a number of years. lacking the "traditional" and proper academic prowess including and pertaining to acoustic nomenclature, which is definitely not one of my strong points, howsoever, this unyielding euphoria from music, that I felt at an early age, unknowingly impelled my wonderment, curiosity and motivation towards a definable course in my life, wasting no time I began strumming the guitar, and by 1965, I was recording in my egg crate covered basement room with my guitar and drum beat records, recording on the family Tandberg M-3 reel to reel tape recorder and performing with a Birthday party / Bar Mitzvah bubble gum band by 1968. So If you are truly motivated, your skills will advance if you stay on coarse. If you are so determined, "go to school" weather It's for music instruction or the technical side of the music scene, why not both. One also must take advantage of OTJT which has served me well and has provided me satisfaction with a sincere sense and understanding of amateur, rewarding me handsomely in many ways beyond what one might consider. This website is accessible to all, however this site centers around Home recording for enthusiasts of all ages. It's a place dedicated to home recordists who share and discuss matters amongst themselves. I have been browsing Home Recording for quite a while and have recently signed on. It has suddenly dawned on me that there are quiet a number of impeccably credentialed, accolade embroidered professionals, extraordinaire, that seem to be the overseers, guardians and the custodians for this website. This website is not a democracy but it certainly has the freedom of being an open forum. Some of these professional gurus seem to spend so much time conferring absolute advisory upshots on Home Recording.com, that it makes me wonder if they will be able to devote enough time to maintain their highly respected and prestigious careers. I love browsing this website for a youthful injection of creative insight from the home recordist. This is your home. keep those wheels spinning, and however curt this might seem, a mention goes out to the few shamelessly opportunistic professional acousti-meisters, for their subtle advertising skills and most importantly, for providing an overdose of ballast in an attempt to maintain equilibrium in favor of what they consider to be a poor, fragile and blind soul of a forum that needs shepherding. Contrary to their belief, this forum is and will do just fine and prosper creatively, not being stonewalled or unnecessarily misdirected by orthodoxy. Continuing to be as it was intended to be. This forum will be here long after the last emotionally distraught shepherd who actually is in fact, the poor, fragile and blind soul who could no longer find his sheep. This archaic yet meaningful shepherd will eventually wandered off unlike his sheep. This is just my opinion. Keep it fresh, and bring it on. (Your friendly neighborhood heretic)

Since when?

That's odd. I scrolled down over a weeks worth of posts, and didn't see more than one post by the people I consider "professional guru's":confused: In fact, I'd submit they are too busy to actually reply to every post that would reap the rewards of these professionals insights and experience.

If giving out free information via their own websites is "shameless", then I'll eat my hat.:mad: If anything, I'm thankful these professionals are willing to share their hard won experience, education and in some cases, professional "secrets", as many of these pro's have proprietary design elements that are utilized correctly only because they've done the math, lab and site tests, and have built many pro studios over the years, which gives them this so called "ballast".

So, what would you rather have.

UNNECESSARILY MISDIRECTED?

ORTHODOXY?

Surely you jest.

:laughings:


vs what? Advice from know-nothing acoustically challenged dimwits, who's only self designed acoustical treatment consists of egg crates/cardboard and blankets?:rolleyes:


and PROSPER CREATIVELY? When it comes to KNOWN and TESTED acoustical parameters, what would you suggest? TRIAL AND ERROR, wasted time and money, re-inventing the wheel...or what? Show me one homemade DIY substitute for an absorber/diffuser/transmission loss product/design/technique(such as rigid fiberglass, Poly's or even decoupled drywall for that matter...etc) that has been PROVEN ..in a lab..that meets or exceeds the performance of your so called recommended ORTHODOXY ..hmmmmm?

I have no problem with DIY solutions based on building things vs purchasing them. However, when it comes to TRANSMISSION LOSS construction, known Acoustical performance of products and the application of the science to ones project..I'd submit there is NO substitute for these Members generous sharing of their knowledge.

On the contrary, if you think that other not-so enlightened advice is preferable ..then be my guest. Take THEIR advice. And see what it gets you. Perhaps you'll even build a ROUND studio, ...like one of these so-informed johnny come lately Home Studio know-it-all's recently suggested to a poster's question regarding his existing space.

Or maybe someone's got a "new" set of physics they're willing to share too. I'm sure there's scores of people who are ready to jump on the "cardboard and blankets" physics band wagon as according to the inventor...it works GREAT!!





NOT.
:rolleyes:


ya know, it never cease to amaze me how some people seem to think that HOME RECORDING is somehow different than PROFESSIONAL recording, and just because their studio is in a home, somehow ...it operates in a different physical universe..which therefore exempts it from normal physics used by these so called "professional guru's".

Not only is it sad...but perfectly illustrates the BIG BANG OF STUPIDITY mindset of this thread.
 
I welcome your frankness

After all Fitz, My so called treatise is merely an observation, heresy welcomes your frank yet lackluster retort. A man who keeps his know-it-all gripped in hands within his pockets , is a man with no hands.
 
(1) Would that be Zandru as in the mythical being frequently mentioned in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover novels?

(2) Is there a point to all of this lambasting of the professional engineers who post here, beyond simple trolling?

nah .... it's just trolling.
 
That room would be pretty cool if you were filming a Star Trek sequel, actually.
 
I'm sure they will have the technology in the 23rd century to really "fix it in the mix".
 
No need to travel down that path, opinion stated

diggy_dude, (1) Yes I know of Zandru from the Darkover novels, although I have not read Zandru's Forge. (2) Yes!, I do not believe that there is a need to travel down that path any longer, opinion stated. Thanks Lt. Bob, perhaps a modicum of bluntness may have been to emotional for the soft at heart.
 
The gist of the OP is what started us down that path. I say we continue down it until all the lulz have been unearthed. :D

As Csus succinctly says, this redefines the word asinine.
 
If I remember correctly, Zandru was a chthonic character similar to Hades.
 
Fitz: A postmortem

Fitz, I see you have forgotten the tale about the man with no hands. Your lack of reach is soon to be short handed yet your still spinning that top. You broke my heart Fredo, of the few replies I received about my original post, You were my best hope to elicit a meaningful and challenging response. I have elicited a few responses and most viewers choose not to reply. I also know that most viewers simply will not dignify this or other posts with a for better or worse reply. My post was not specifically intended to elicit replies as some score keeping web-authors crave, but was meant to present observations based on certain underlying practices that reside within is website. It's time for this thread to go to bed.
 
Zandru, are you aware that your style evokes Bill Maher, Dennis Miller, and other leaky douche nozzles of that ilk? And I'm not just sayin', chief.

If you don't care for the practices of certain authors on this here forum, feel free to sod smooth the fuck off.

You're full of shit.

If you don't like the way things work around here, piss off. There is enough bullshit information on the web without having this forum become a place for spreading nonsense.

The "underlying practices" on this BBS are refuting bullshit and explaining what works and how to accomplish competent skills, plain and simple.

If you want to cling to your fantasy physics that is up to you. But I guarantee you that every time you try to lay that crap on somebody around here you will get called on it.
