Tanlith, are you the type who goes to get the tires changed on his car, gives a sad look to the guy, saying: "I only have money for 3, can you just spot me a break this one time and throw in the fourth one, pretty please?" No, you fucking moron. Pay for your goddamn tire and shut the fuck up. Contrary to your distorted beliefs, the owner of that tire shop might have expenses, a family, and/or a need to make money . . . just like Tanlith.
I've never asked for a handout in my life but I'm more than willing to help someone who's down ... so fuck you you ignorant c**ks*ck*r. <--- I fell well justified in this... your comment was directed at ME not at a group in general as my earler post was.
When you know me personally... then you can have the right to insult me directly.
As for pipelines's post... I'll reiterate: All that space you wasted up there only served to strengthen my earlier comments about how "helpful" some of the the so called "pros" are.
I'm glad that studio engineers don't make any money to speak of... I'm sure my beat up old pickup cost a whole lot more than the 2 Jaguars parked outside the studio did... Get bent...
oh THIS is rich. Since you are 100% ignorant on this fact let me enlighten you
99.999999999999% of those who work in studios would do WAY better working at McDonalds. WAY WAY WAY better.
OK let's go WAY back to business 101 - if the business doesn't make money, the business doesn't survive... so don't try to pass off yer horse shit that you're broke. Every time I go to a studio I see most of the employees wearing designer jeans and $50-60 doller shirts... i used to work at McDonalds when I was in high school... the pay is shit... and if you make less than that, then you should be in contact with your local human rights comittee since I'm pretty sure McDonalds pays the
legal minimum wage ... if you're making less than that your boss is breaking the law. -- I'm ignorant??
After about 10 years of this your health will be miserable, you will have a level of anxiety and panic attacks you wouldnt wish on youre worst enemy, and there will be NOTHING you can do about it, as by this time your health will have deteriorated to the point where you couldnt even work at McDonalds if you wisely chose to give this career up. If you are VERY VERY lucky, you will find a nut girlfriend who will support you, but even the kindest soul will be at your throat constantly from the stress you put on her.
If you're so unhappy, change careers ... people do it all the time. Your personal life isn't my problem... It's your attitude that sucks.
"Home recording engineers are all about MUSIC"
I could be an asshead here and say home recordists are all about money...saving money, but that would be just as stupid an overgeneralization
Name a home engineer here who
is not also an aspiring musician... they play music ... that's why they have thier studios... ergo they are all about the music... elementry my dear pipeline... yes... as for you being an asshead... well, some things are better left unsaid...
"(4) To all the arrogant professional engineers who have nothing REAL to submit. To those professionals who make the choice not to help but to hinder us with your worthless mindless non-supportive banter -- FUCK OFF AND GO SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU'RE ACTUALLY WANTED."
point them out! they are the ones who are giving us all a bad name... well, them and YOU! We can deal with em, just name em
... sorry... didn't think it would be a wise use of space to quote your
entire post here... and you don't need
me to give you a bad name... you're doing such a wonderful job at it right now....

BTW: I do hope your handle isn't also the name of the studio where you work... if so... piss poor way of advertising....
good be an ostrich and stay ignorant, I wouldnt want you to maybe LEARN something from those who you ignorantly blast
I was quite content to do so... Apperently some people need an english lesson though... that's ok though... I understand that many people these days suffer from illiteracy...
And I quote: (Last line in my previous post)
P.S. If someone really must rebut and wishes a response you'll have to message me privately as I'm unsubscribing to this waste of space.
Apperently you either can't read or was hoping I wouldn't catch the BS you were selling? As for me learning something, well... let's just say I learn not only from my own experience but from the experiences of those around me. What did I learn? Well, I've already outlined that above in my earlier posts.
So feel free to outline your latest superhero exploits... tell us oh great one when was the last time you actally "helped" someone without sticking out your hand for the payoff? Hrrmmmm??? Do you really think you're doing any good here? Right now? On
this thread?? You've only served to strengthen the misguided opinion that professionals think home studios are a waste of time.
Next time ya wanna attack me directly be sure to contact me and let me know... don't hide behind the fact that I may not be back to read the posts... I wouldn't have bothered, but a friend pointed this out and the opprotunity was too humorus to pass up.
As for the original sentiment of this thread, I think you have your answer tjohnston... generally speaking the majority of Professional Engineers think home recording engineers are hacks that don't have a clue... a few however seem to be decent folk who see the possibility that home studios are useful in their own right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In closing I'll recap something from my previous post that was more or less either missed of glossed over.
The equipment on the desktops of the average home recording engineer are as good or better than the equipment you would have found in many many professional studios
10 years ago. To refute this fact would be to deny that technology has moved forward... so don't bother trying. Simple basic logic would dictate that if I have the equipment that can produce the same quality of music that was recorded 10 years ago in professional studios than I have the means to produce professional quality music. (Albeit I may lack some of the skill involved).
Some of the music that I've heard from here is as good a quality (and in some cases better) than music I heard back in the late 80's early 90's. To say that the music produced in these home studios is crap is to also deny the quality of the music from a decade ago... because the music is 10yrs old makes it shit?? No... to say that would be silly. And I doubt that any of you out there would say that.
So how can you possibly justify saying the music made in these home studios is crap? I've heard the results... i like most od what I heard... the people here have heard the results... they seem to like what they've heard... many of us eagerly await the release of each others CDs so we can buy one... so from a consumer stand point there's support here.
... oh I could go on and on and on and on and on and on...
Hey... yer a pro... listen to this and give your honest opinion of the audio quality. Just curious...
I Walk Alone
I'm looking forward to your opinion.
