This is more for the vets on the board.

So. When you guys "joined" this board, had you all been n00bs, so to speak, or did you come to just try to pick up a few tricks. Just curious..

I actually can't remember too well. I know I read for a while before I signed up, but I can't remember exactly when. I was fairly green, I had done 4 track analog for about 4 years, and got my first PC setup in 2000, I think it was about 2001 when I hooked up with this board. I had been reading the Prorec.com boards back when that site was still maintained, and I had read Huber's book "Modern Recording Techniques". So I was one step above newbie, but only one step

I wish there was an easy way to read my early posts, they are probably pretty embarassing But I don't think the search menu works too well for that.

I am still a noob

I think of it as "networking" and it gives me something positive to do (usually postive, anyway) while I'm working.

I had been recording for years on reel to reel,but knew nothing about computer recording.I wanted to get into that,and build a computer to record on.I accomplished this just in time before the Cave sucked me in and stole my soul!

I just read for about a year.
Then I joined and saw the cave. All went down hill after that.


I still do more reading than posting. Still in the learning phase.

Learning and enjoyment in an area that is about a huge chunk of what I'm about. And helping. A good feeling when it happens but also it clarifies your understanding of something to have to communicate it.

Plus, you get to find out where you're full of shit too.
