Can we add a "real world" forum to the Sneap forums??

[drew_drummer]

The way I see it... there isn't enough classification of the different techniques at the moment. It's all just lumped into one. The Sneap search function is pretty shitty... add those two together..and there is your reason why:

1. You can never find anything you want to know about.
2. There are always duplicate posts about an issue.
3. People are always trawling for presets - if there was a presets sub-forum, all those lazy bastards could just piss off there!

Sure, you can make the case that production is production and should be taken as a whole. But that doesn't really cover all the bases. That is a macrocosmic view, and what we're talking about here is a microcosmic view.

I'd actually be up for a whole bunch of different sub-forums; acoustic drums, software drums, real amps, software amps.. etc..

Excellent point made.
Personally I don't own any outboard stuff. It's all plug ins for me, but I do own a real amp and cabinet and a microphone, so at least I'm getting that experience working with the real tools

Agree, it is more the feeling of people want fast presets to record their band, with no interest what so ever in engineering

i just dont care about this ....if i see some thread about POD/SLATE/DEATHCORE BR00TAALZZZ.... maybe ill check it or maybe not
it depends on how i feel in that moment.

and i am one of "them"...i record real drums with triggers and i replace everything(except overheads , of course) with slate/samples from this forum...

and i always use amp sims...

of course id love to record a good and well tuned drumkit , a rectifier/5150 and a svt pro with a 8x10 cabinet.....but...i live in a small island and neither the bands i usually record
or i have that kind of money
so i basically record demos/ep´s

why dont simply make some kind of "rule" for the names of the threads?
example:

[ITB] mixing metalcore bla bla bla ..........(as you see ITB in the name you already know that it will have at least 1 or 2 of this things : programmed drums/slate/superior/pod/tse/lepou/etc)
[OTB] mixing a new project for a heavy metal band ........(as you see OTB you know there will be at least real drums or real amps or whatever...)

but i am scared that the "old ones" of the forum just wont post anymore in the ITB mixes...

What is the difference between that and just having two separate forums? With controlled topic titles, you're relying on someone to not be an idiot. With separate forums, it's completely indicative of the type of content that will be inside it.

Take a look around. That already is happening.

would be too many subforums.

+1


Where's Exibit when you need him "Yo, I heard you like forums, so I put a forum in your forum...."

I just fail to see how adding a subforum dedicated to miking up instruments and external hardware would do anything different, other than making it easier for users to find those kinds of threads (which in a sense could make someone elses work harder, i.e. moderators).

I get the sense that IF a subforum dedicated to OTB mixing were put in place, some of you dudes are thinking there would be more content dedicated to it? That makes no sense...If that's what some people are thinking.

If you build it, they will come.

I don't know why but that really cracked me up.

in the real world, I'm just a geeky looking guy with a desk job that is encroaching on 40 and records crap in his bedroom on a shitty fostex machine in his underwear, while still trying to relate to today's metal youth.

trust me, you don't want the real world.

You guys all need to get off the computer and go have sex with women.

Go be social out in the real world. I read through this, and the whole time I'm thinking 'What the hell is everyone arguing about this for?'. Looks ridiculous from my point of view.

Just my 2 cents.

Ok! Ok!! I'm going now. Jeez...

*grumble grumble* ooo!! fanny! *grumble grumble*

Looking at porn doesnt count btw

Marcus is the pr0n king around here, not I, sire.

I have to keep a clean house in case my computer needs to go for an upgrade or my woman needs to type a CV.

 

[El_Gato]

IMO the moment to make another sub-forum would be when one of them (eg production forum) got so flooded that you have 2 pages of new threads/responses daily.

Just ignore the threads you are not interested in, by now.

This.

 

[shred101]

To be honest I think its pretty dumb looking at the lack of content over in the "musician" forums as well. The music theory thing is pretty much dead and the "musicians discussion" is just a bunch o people looking for vocalists.

 

[ahjteam]

Wouldn´t it be better to make the inverse? I mean, a subforum only for the "in the box/ampsims"?

...or:

again and again...
maybe we should have a noooob forum for all the nnoooobss...

 

[shred101]

maybe we should have one for all the l33t m1xxx0r b4st4rd5

If it would get rid of no-knowledge tossers like you, then sure!
