Thanks for the info , feel sorry for those of you who are jaded
I want to thank all of you for your information and taking to time to answer my questions. I've asked many on this board all over the place infact.
Some of you have been awesome and I appreciate it big time. But this disturbs me a bit.

Yes I am a newbie to home recording , I am a songwriter who wants control of the recording process, but, I am not an engineer.
Trust me, If I were in a position to have a Jeff Emerick, or Butch Vig, or Sardy on my team I wouldnt be posting questions here.
Hopefully someday when I have the knowlege that some of you who answered my questions have, I will either
A. Wont be hanging around on this board because I will be too busy recording masterpieces or having someone else who knows better recording masterpieces
or B. I will come to this board wanting to share my wealth of knowlege and teach newbies like myself the arts of recording because I care, and because I can answer questions
hey, I have a sense of humor and can laugh at how stupid some of my questions may be to some of you, sure, but the last time I checked,
this was a forum where beginners could ask questions, not to be judged for what equipment I have or what I do or do not know about recording.
Is there a law that says you must know everything about a piece of equipment to own it, to be worthy?
So what, we have an Avalon,(some other dude here, said he has 3!) and although I dont know everything about it, I know enough to know it was worth buying . Just because I didnt know all the ways I should or should not use it doesnt mean I can't own it or can't ask questions about it.
What's the saying? "you don't have to know everything, to do something"
Well we are doing it people, we are making a self produced , self engineered, self mixed, self recorded, self written, self mixed, self everything recording. And of course I am not saying that makes us special, but give me break. Do I have to explain that
3 people scrounged to pay for the avalon, do I have to justify that to anyone here? I am sure my avalon is peanuts compared to how much money people have spent on recoprding equip in these forums.
I'll tell you what we DONT have, we dont have a computer or expensive software programs, we dont have expensive instruments and monitors and some high tech studio. We allocated money to the part of "our" unique home set up to where we thought it would count the most for "our " unique sound and style of our group and what we couold afford. We are a band , just trying to record our own shit people! thats all. So what if we are mixing sears equipment with hoity toity equipment, thats what makes us creative, thats what makes us original or unique. Rules are made to be broken, especially in music and in recording. If you dont like it then thats your opinion, fine with me. I don't do everything by the book.
All you haters made assumptions and comments that make you look like sarcastic jaded bitter recording artists who are most likely the people with thousands of dollars in recording euipment at home and know alot about alot of things. so what.
What you don't know is that scoffing at me isn't going to make you better or your recordings better or your songs better and it isnt going to stop me from continuing to record and excersise my right to be clever, innovative and niave. so what.
