I just checked, and yes they do.

Oddly enough, mine does too.

How did that happen? :)
 
Listen, everybody is razzin you on the BBS because you come across like you want everyone else to "do your homework" for you.

People will be more receptive if you ask questions about what YOU want to accomplish with your music and how YOU might be able to learn how to do it with whatever equipment YOU may or may not have. If you dont have any gear to work with, just explain that to everybody and we can give you some suggestions on what gear you might be able to get and use to accomplish your goals.

Hey, we're all here to learn and share and even though I was kidding with you, I would be willing to try and better your tracks because I will take any opportunity I can get to better MY skills.

I am not a professional by any means........quite the contrary, I'm a recording hobbiest like a lot of the people on the BBS.

Dont take the ribbing too personal but just realize that almost all of the people on the BBS have spent many, many hours, many frustating hours of trial and error and by lucky chance learning their skills and STYLE and the CRAFT of making and recording music.

Consider that when you ask for people to give you their time and service for free, people who may very well have to scrape their equipment together $50 bucks at at time from pawn shops and friends and e-bay and wheeling and dealing........knowing that they are doing this for a passion not for making money........and then claim you only want to learn, it comes across as disingenuous and kind of insulting to those of us WILLING to spend the time and energy because they love doing it. And some people are bound to react with a "Why should I give away my hard earned skills and time to someone looking for a hand out." kind of attitude.......can you blame them??

If you are primarily a musicain and want to remain primarily a musician, you may not neccessarily want to get that involved with the recording side of things. I barely have time to write songs anymore because I'm always messing with sound and gear........but thats what I like to do.

And realize too, that most of us have asked a dumb or inappropriate question and got rosted of just plain flamed for it......it just helps shape the question asking skills in us all.

So take it like a man and ASK A BETTER QUESTION.

Like I said before, I would be willing to give go mastering your tracks (although it would NOT really be mastering....as Bruce will kindly explain to you) , but I have limited gear (namely Sound Forge 6 and Cool Edit Pro 2 and some outboard compressors) and am certainly not a mastering engineer (even if I do have the cap) but you are probably going to ask how I got this particular sound or why I did this or that anyway and ultimately have to try and do it yourself.

Its the only way to learn.......doing it....and then erasing it...and then doing it over....and then asking a specific question....and then doing it yet again...and then starting completely over....etc.....etc.

Peace

MIKE SPEAKS THE TRUTH!....you know how many ugly women i had to pimp to get the money for my monitors? pimpin' aint easy.....dont be ashamed to hit up your parents for money....I'm 23 and i still ask my mom for some extra bucks for stuff....granted i have a job but begging aint easy either lol
 
yep question was bad, and it would be nice someone answered as you did before the "my trick is better than your" contest...

Was humour yeah but better is when slightly up the parts ; )

and of course it's never a present to have someone "msn"ing you every 10 minutes to ask if it's raining or sunny when he just need to look out the window
 
Mr. Skillz doesn't seem to want to listen to what the "old" people have to say; maybe he'll listen to a youngin like me.

jskillz, you are a moron. You're lame. You seem to be extremely lazy as well. You look like a complete idiot asking people if they have gear they want to give to you and asking people to master your shitty tracks. You're probably a "juggalo" making shitty rap tunes with your fruity loops that you pirated off kazaa with your computer your mom bought for your fat greasy self.

Grow up. Get a job. Your mommy and daddy may have walked you through life thus far, but we're not about to waste our energy on a prick like yourself if you haven't figured that out.

Do us a favor and go listen to your ICP and stay off the boards.
 
What cracks me up is how Jskillz also has threads going begging for free "shitty soundcards" mics and pres. And here he wants free mastering. I'm just curious as to how he managed to create a mix worth mastering,on a setup which would be IMPROVED by obtaining a free shitty soundcard and whatever other old junk somebody would be willing to send to a douchebag like him.

What is wrong with you J? And what "skillz" are you referring to?
Do you see nothing wrong with the way you act and post? Maybe you should just shut up, don't ever post, but just READ for about two years, then you might have enough knowledge to avoid behaving like the lazy fuck-up you are.
What a little bitch.

Your "whole life?" Shit! You're a LITTLE BOY!

5. i Hustle shit mys well ask if i could get somthing for free its not like its gonna hurt ... so shut ur mouth i didnt ask for ur opioin so keep it to ur sell whiteboy..
Little shits like you give your race a bad name. Quit perpetuating a bad stereotype! <---You can look those big words up at dictionary.com, by the way.

6. me being lazy ... o god stfu ive done more shit in 14 years then u will do in a life time
Like what? Your first serious beating? You first jail term?

7. whats a ICP .. cuz u seem to have one

Damn. Your mommy needs to figure out how to use the parental controls on your computer.

Why don't you go and play somewhere else and let the grownups here on HRC have grownup discussions? You're not going to get any help here anyway, you've managed to irritate every single person who would have been helpful to you in the first place.

Yeah, me too. Except I'm not black, I'm like more of a "mutt."
Oh yeah, and add "pleaser of many women" somewhere in between 1 and 4 :D

The way I figure, it's only the stupidest of people who will judge someone on race or color. That's partially because they're too ignorant to notice any less obvious differences in people.

The really stupid ones will throw around words like "fag" and "gay" just because they think it's "cool." These are the people who also think cigarettes and the constantly using word "fuck" every other word make them appear more "grown up."

There in lies the route of the problem. Today, kids are so full of the Dr. Phil blame it on everyone else crap, it’s not my fault, and I’m not responsible for my actions....Boohoo. I love it, “The adult is always wrong”????? If that’s the case, then here’s a question Einstein, Why than are you seeking help from people that are always wrong???

Don’t worry; there will be a point in your life when you will finally realize how much of an ass you were, when you were a kid. :rolleyes:
 
Jeez....Why couldn't somebody just explain to him from the beginning that this isn't a real reasonable request??

He got nothing but sarcasm from the second post on....There's more than a few ppl that need to do a little growing up around here...
 
well sometimes people need a laugh....somewhere in all the sarcasm were a few reasonable answers

The problem lies in the lack of recognition that it's an unreasonable request.
I think the idea was communicated pretty well, though.

It's only humor...geez.
