Y'mean there is a Turkish music industry?

I think being a pro engineer, or even a producer, is way overrated.

However, I'm quite fond of stuff produced by the likes of Jeff Lynne and George Martin.;)

They make pretty decent wine in the eastern part of the state, where it's actually very dry.

That raises an interesting point. Is this a real debate, or a clever story line orchestrated by Dragon in order to boost page views :mad: ;)

Trust me when I say: Dragon is not NEARLY smart enough to "orchestrate" a "debate" like this.
 
I am still waiting for Mixerman to step up and offer some mixing tips/tricks/etc...

You know, that is really what seperated this place from all the BBS's that the "pro's" hang out at. People would come here and get GOOD ADVICE on how to approach aspects of audio production. Usually, they had tried all the places the "pro's" hang out, and were generally frustrated because they were dotted on, given overly vague tidbits, or just generally ignored. Sorry, but Mixerman comes from such a site, and so far, the stuff he has shared here has been mostly USELESS overly generalized stuff. This disturbs me. He get's credibility for offering NOTHING so far.

Fuck that. Plenty of snob BBS's out there just chewing up bandwidth to offer newbs nothing at all. Guys like him will turn this place into another one of them.

I STILL think he is just here to make a presence so as to increase book sales. Only he can change that perception by actually getting his hands dirty and actually offering up useful help.

I am not holding my breath.................:(
 
Dunno, Ed. I've appreciated his input in the thread I started last night.

-C
 
I suppose that means you're now going to go over to it and heckle him there, though I'd be delighted to be wrong about that.
 
What did he offer? An opinion that the band shouldn't be present while you mix. Now tell me Chris, how did that help you learn ANYTHING about actually mixing something?

I don't go chasing guys around on the internet to "heckle" them. Fuck, I ain't a stalker!

Get real man. Let's not take things to rediculous levels. Most of you are not very interested in my perspective of stuff that is said by some of the "pros" around here, but try to refrain from painting me as some fanatical crazy guy. If you met me in person, you would find me to be far more sane and rational that most people you meet. I am straight up and honest. Maybe you are confusing those traits with "crazy and irrational". LOL
 
Simply, he came to my playground and tried to steal the ball. He may be king of his playground, but he's gonna have to start all over here! ;)

As a moderator at the Marsh I should like to take a moment and refute your specious and ill-informed commentary.

Above are two typical discussions found at The Marsh in the technical fora. Both are informative and I would imagine quite useful to any number of recordists looking to expand their horizon of personal knowledge. Most of the posts in the technical fora are generally within the grasp of most hobby recordists and recording 101 is an area of the forum specifically geared toward the least informed among us....you might want to make special note of that! ;)

We have a number of intelligent, well informed contributers who bring a plethora of knowledge and experience to the many diverse topics that have found their way to our virtual pages. I suggest there is little a novice could ever ask that has not been well answered in our humble corner of the net.

FYI...It is always helpful to have a sense of humour at the Marsh and in particular Mixerman's forum. Drop by sometime and visit, you may just learn a few things about mixing, both sonically and socially!


Cheers,
Aardvark

Please explain.

If this is a hockey related comment, and you are indeed from Washington...you must be kidding!! Washington is to hockey what Washington is to bi-partisan governance!


Washington Capitals (clever name eh!)....

...Perhaps the greatest playoff failure team in the history of the NHL.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:



Where were we?

Actually, I'm a native Montrealer. Been playing hockey for well over 30 years.
Still do.

What I was getting at, is that if you are indeed a Montrealer, you make me ashamed to admit I hail from that great province :)

However, I have my doubts, because most Montrealers I grew up with are educated enough to know the difference between Washington state and Washington DC :)

But I'm just joking around... where are you from anyways? And which forum do you moderate?

I was being polite in my reply...I did take your post as an insult but gave you the benefit of the doubt.

I feel your shame.

And one last thing. Certainly, I have dealt with my fair share of clients that hang out in the studio and want to "assist" in the mixing process.

The most simple and effective thing you can do is "suggest" some parameters (ask them to pick their battles for the greater good per se) and remind them of those if they start to cross the line. If they don't show any interest in your suggested parameter, simply, you must give them what they want. THEY PAY YOU, and your job is to provide the service they want from you. If they think they know better than you about how their mix should sound, in the name of good relations and customer service, you give it to them, even though you know they will regret it later. Trust me, if you set parameter early in the game, and THEY ignore them and you just give them what they think they want, you will earn FAR MORE RESPECT that way than to try to battle it.

Remember, you get paid no matter what, and YOU are the "pro". If they want to take it out of your hands, let them. You will certainly be booking hours down the road to remix what THEY FUCKED UP, and they will at least respect you for trying to help early on.

Get it?

So, how did THAT help you with mixing? Notta!

Ah, now you change your location to Canada. Whereabouts? Montreal?

Nevermind, that would be the Song Critique Forum.

And why slam Mixerman?
