I am not sure I understood you point there. Is that 'foggy'? lol!
Where do we go for 'real help without the drama'? I wouldn't have volunteered to be a moderator here if I did not believe this to be the place.
There are many types of people here. Both total newbies to recording, professionals, and everywhere in between. That is what makes this site worth being a member of. Different opinions, different tastes, and a whole bunch of home recording professionals who know what they are talking about with experience. Then there are also true professionals that hang out here and give their support and insight.
Welcome to the forum friend. There are many here that spend countless hours helping each other.
I sure hope you don't judge the character of a site from a few members posts...
