How did a post about mics turn into such angry, vitriolic mudslinging? You don't know me dude - and while I'm sure Harvey - obviously extremely knowledgable - is a great guy, who is he, your dad?
I am supremely sorry for causing such anger and finger wagging - everything I said about the S.E. mics is true - and I in fact have MORE than 40 albums to my name - but that's moot - I only mentioned our respective credit - his more than mine - to lend some creedence to the review.
As for me, since in your omnipotence you are so sure I am an imposter/loudmouth guy who's full of crap: - my name is Robb Howell. I presently produce music for Sony and Sony PlaysStation2 Games. The most recent one released is called "Twisted Metal 2" I used to play with Bill Ward (Black Sabbath) and have recorded 21 albums of my own or as a guest including Mahogany Rush, The RH Factor, Irish, Paul Williams (Allan Holdsworth) and much too many to rename here (I did in the first post) . I have recorded and produced music for several feature films and recently starred in a film with Sean Young, Sally Kirkland & Dianne Ladd called "Forever". I have toured with Foghat, The Outlaws, Mahogany Rush, and appeared live with bassist Stanley Clarke, Sergio Mendez, The Rippingtons and Diane Shuur. I'm 42 years old and have been recording albums since I was 15. I have been on a U.S. Major since I was 21. I have two kids and a wife who is also a well known recording artist (but we'll leave her out of this - don't want mud at her) I joined this forum to share recording experiences and ideas with other people, soemthing I absolutely LOVE doing - and I WILL NOT go away, especialy because of some presumptuous, judgemental little guy's emotional defensiveness and indictment of someone he doesn't know at all. It is so easy to judge on the internet - people like you form these cursory opinions about others without the benefit of a query or anything else-FROM ONE POST!
This Harvey dude would have gotten straght answers had he not initially done what you did (just milder) - Had he asked his questions about qualiftying myself as "okay - how did you guys do it" instead of the coy "And you would be?" stuff I wouldn't have reacted - but he was wagging fingers too. Why? It was a review of a MICROPHONE - I thought this was a group of professionals - it's usually Non-professionals who get so heated when someone makes claims like I did - I did so to lend credibility to the greatness of the mics I was talking about and not just blowing smoke..
Sorry to offend you - but I didn't deserve the blast dude. I understand the skepticism people feel when a guy says "I did this and that" - but all you need do is ask instead of INDICT -and btw - I am VERY proud of my accomplishments - I worked very hard to achieve them, and I am exceptionaly outgoing when helping people do the same. You don't know me, and you should apologize. You would more than anything find a friend than a foe.
He's going to need it...
