I'm a hobbyist in college that fell in love with recording two years ago, mostly just recording my band, doing side project demos and what not
then i upgraded, started recording really tight bands around the area. Each of them played their instruments perfectly and it made a great recording. So when i started getting great audio quality (well, sub par in my mind but better than what i started with) i think other bands in the area thought i could make anyone sound good. A really good bedroom mixer from my hometown had this problem, he would make already great bands sound good then he got bands that wanted nothing more than to record, rather than play shows, get laid, and have fun. You know, the reason why kids in high school pick up an instrument haha
maybe i sound like a a bad guy for saying that. but having to edit so much and to make a bad band sound good really sucks the fun out of doing something i love
