Better card + lesser Monitor / Lesser card + better monitor

Don"t worry ,Ssscientist likes to razz newbies ,He razzed me a Good one when I first came here and I"m sure I"m not the only one...

yidakee: you have now officially been initiated into Homerecording.com ....


Enjoy your stay and don"t take things poeple to seriously or you will end up with a headache....

Oh... I get it. You REALLY think people will respect you in this virtual world by the size of your rep bar... how sad...

Rep means nothing in here. Some of us use that little bar as a game. Do you really think my rep represents my knowledge and experience? No, it a popularity contest much like American Idol. The best singer doesn't win on there, only the most popular. Same with the rep thing.

I hope you get a thicker skin and can learn not to come off as conceited and cocky. That kind of holier-than-thou attitude isn't welcome here.

Neither is self righteous bantering.

I'd really love to bring out serious and GOOD mixes.

Gracias for las muchachas...

I would say that with the gear you currently have, you would be better served by getting a good set of monitors and treating your tracking/mixing space. It's not going to matter if you have a wall full of high end converters if you can't trust what you are hearing.

The last time I had a bunch of cash to upgrade, I went through the same thing. I ended up spending a couple grand on rigid fiberglass. Best decision I've made.

About the "argument" - this will be my final say. What really got to me was him saying I was a bully in disguise (?!?!) and throwing my weight around (I just came back from the scale, 62,5 kg... what on earth could I do with so little?) - saying he didnt like me, all of this based on 3 or 4 posts, that I re-read, and quite honestly, I see no harm in being super excited and sharing my dreams and worries.

Again, if it bothers some, it might not others, so just click the "close window" thingy... !

If that is not welcome, please say so politely and I will find somewhere else to dwell upon my doubts, and share my knowledge, that I know is very welcome (if I'd ever have a chance to show it here) - no harm done!

Ok, I do recognize I could have been more straight forward and not have blabbed so much... but again, being this a forum (by definition it implies verborrea), people talk to each other, create relations, GIVE a little of themselves to recieve from others. And for the "newbie" section, I think much was exceded. And I did say I meant no fight and apologised (for nothing really that I should apologise for, but hey, I just like to get along without fusses). From there on it was just plain and simple insults.

So yeah, I reacted BACK at the the same level of understanding of the other side.

The fact that I have an m-audio and hi-fi speakers does not mean I am a noob, and idiot, less capable of being useful to this forum. It just means I invested all my gold in my primary necessity, being a professional guitarrist is also quite expensive.

I do not wish to perpetuate this argument. I hope the parties involved understand that the conclusions made about myself are just plain wrong. I am a cool person to get along with, I like to mock around, I love serious discussions, I REALLY love the interchange.

I just dont go for intolerance. It's primitive. There are way many more efective, apparantly distasteful, yet ending gracefully, ways to razz someone.

But, once more, I am the new one here, so it is up to me to get to know the people who share this forum.

Thank you all, will be going for dynaudio and motu, later maybe BLA.

My God yidakee! I think you need to settle down man.
If you wanna see who started the fight go back and read your very first response to ssscientist.

He was kidding around and making joke and you slapped him in the face!

He Said:

"I suggest a holiday in Tora Bora..."

Which was a joke in relpy to choice "3 - Great holiday @ Bora Bora ... (or your own suggestion)"


You said:

"That was very informative - thank you for your insight.

Anyone else, that can actually read between the lines, be graceful enough to give a valuable opinion. If I am not mistaken, this is the newbie section, where people with more knowledge help out people with less. I am no newbie, but would appreciate the experience factor. If I had posted on another section, I would definitely not have included option 3 as to avoid such a typical response, from such typical people."

Sounds like you came here looking for a fight when he was just being silly.
If you cant be open to a joke or silly response ebery now and again then you should expect him to defend him self yidakee!!!

My God, learn some manners before you come in slinging mud!

I'll go to bat for ssscientist anyday considering how much insite he has to offer. I couldnt say the same for you.
