Jake-Owa = anger management issues. Big time.
Better watch that. Chicks don't dig a man that loses control.
I mean, for christ's sake you can't even take a compliment.
Oh, and when I do post my mix, try to remain objective about it. If you don't dig it, that's fine... but it is pretty feeble to bash it because you don't like me.
Maturity. The cornerstone of professionalism.
Oh, by the way--it is typically about 10 times easier to get a great recording/mix of YOURSELF using home recording gear than it is to get a great sound from someone else. The reasons why are numerous and not limited to the following:
1.) You usually don't charge yourself 50 bucks an hour and put in a lot more time.
2.) Most people recording themselves know exactly what they want to sound like and aren't given instructions like: "yeah we want the piccolo snare to sound like this album (that uses a 14" maple snare), and the kick drum to sound like *THIS* album over here..." and so on...
3.) Most people recording themselves are halfway decent musicians. In the non-major label recording world about 50% of the people that walk through the door are marginal to pure suck, 45% are trying to sound like one or more established artists and exhibit zero originality or passion, and the remaining 5% are on the ball enough to get something good.
4.) Most people recording themselves at home don't get progressively drunker and/or more stoned as the evening wears on...
5.) Most people recording themselves at home don't have to worry about Joe Bob the bassist being 2 hours late and screwing things up when the session is cut short by another session booked the same day.
6.) Most home recordists don't try to get Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier sounds out of a Peavey Bandit, and ultimately refuse to go direct and use Ampfarm.
7.) Most home recordists realize that playing to a click track is a good skill to have, or at least something to give a whirl.
8.) Most home recordists don't have huge fights about having the guitars set to "kill", the bass set to "11" and the drums set to "beat face in" and then wonder why the vocal sounds so distant--but refuse to back down one inch.
9.) Most home recordists don't bring in horrible, L2 Ultramaximizer abused recordings that sound like beetle dung and insist that their songs sound fried and tubby.
10.) Most home recordists don't freak out when editing their own material to be more in tune, on time, or just more solid. I've actually had to bear the idiocy of bands having me put mistakes back *IN* a song! Heck, one band complained their music sounded "too good" for them! (They were a jam band... so I remixed it to sound like crap and they loved it!)
