Hey Rado or whatever your name is.
I respect that you have a pro viewpoint on certain things and good for you.
But I read earlier in this thread you talking about spending the rest of your life playing at a corner Pub as though you where some sorta music god and being above the rest.
Well Fuck you to hell.
Many of the people on this sight do perform in Pubs and Bistro's and Weddings and whatever for a living to pay the bills.
We even use Sm58 mics and behringer mixers, and sometimes record our backings in dreadfull 44hz that seems below your standards and actually use minidisk which are at a lower rate.
My point is we all play a part in the industry weather it being the teenager dreaming of fame and starting with a tascam 4 track or you Pro's with the big bucks who can efford all the technology.
I remember Whitetowns hit was done on analog 8 track but the thing is technology will never outshine real talent wheather you have a shit mic or not or even recorder.
Do not bag the hard working musicians working late carrying heavy gear and making a buck.
I am glad you have your cushy little studio and heater or Air conditioner and 96 hz equipment, but don't bag over 50% of muso's doing the real work live or doing live recording in these stingy corner Pubs and Don't bag these true Muso's using classic 8 bit synths and samplers and valve amps, or god forbidden using Leem mics because at the end of the day we support our familys and love what we do.
And frankly Don't need 96hz to sound good because we really actually are fucking good.
I know vocalists that could sing through a dunny roll and record them to tape and they would sound fantastic.
Realistically most of us won't ever do movie soundtracks and frankly these days I sell my Cd's at my gigs and markets and Festivals and make a nice amount Per Performance and have done well using just my Pc and recording at whatever I can.
People buy it not because of what rate it is recorded at but because the music stands out and entertains the ear and emotion.
Not all of us will be at your level and these days you don't need a big label behind you to make make a good living out of music.
So enjoy your 96hz and big names you work for WOOHOO ( NOT ) As the standard of music these days is fucked and Mimmed, and over processed.
Wheather it be in 96hz, 44, 48, Whatever, If it sounds good I will buy it.
Regards Raver
A hard working muso Using
a Fd8, Audigy 2, Sm58, Yamaha Mixer, Behringer B1 Mic, Interm P.a.
Pretty cheap hey But I get the work purely on the talent of my vocalist and my songwriting and arranging.
Not at what it is recorded at.
Give me Stingy Pubs above a recording Studio any day.
And having a live crowd rocks .
