I've been thinking about it and I think Chessrock nailed it on the head when he mentioned the word LIMITATIONS. So I will try to go into further detail and if one person gets anything out of this then I am happy.
1. Know the Limitations of Your Gear
2. Know Know the Limitations of Your Situation
3. Know the Limitations of the Moment
4. Know the Limations of the Input
5. Know Your Limitations
1. Know the Limitations of Your Gear. Behringer can be made to sound good but it still wont sound as good as Great River. One will be happier once they understand and can live with this simple fact. Try to get the standard results that people get out of whatever gear you can AFFORD.
2. Know the limitations of your Situation: You might have the best ears in the world, but you simply cant hear the same detail out of your nearfields in a non treated room that you can with Main monitors in a treated room where the room was matched to the monitors. In addition, dont expect your mix to sound as good as a mix engineer's- that is expecting way above average results. Remember, you do this as a hobby and they do it for a living- day in day out.
3. Know the limitations of the Moment : Sometimes we try to acheive a certain sound on an album that even the engineer who recorded the album cant achieve again. There is a certain voodoo to performances that just cant be recreated - this is why you can have one track stand out out of one hundred tracks even though they were recorded the exact same way. The engineer cant replicate it, neither can the artist.
4. Know the limitations of the Input: You can have the best recording equipment in the entire world and still not be able to make Britney spears sound half as good as Christina or Kelly Clarkson. It is what it is. The quicker we accept this fact, the faster we will attain Happiness.
5. Know your Limitations. Example. It is unrealistic to expect 20% returns in the stock market when the Market is averaging 8%. Going into the market with this expectation will result in disaster. On the flip side, it is underachieving to only expect 4% when the market is averaging 8%. Know all your limitations and then set realistic goals based on those.
In summary: Even though they say to reach for the stars, we only have a mountain bike, so maybe we should try to achieve everything possible on a mountain bike instead of making ourselves unhappy and spending needless money trying to get to the stars. or something like that
