How many suffers from addiction to this forum?

Yeah, here's one for you...

I'm currently mixing a track and whilst I audition the changes I make, I browse this place for any new updates... :zombie:

It's getting unhealthy.

Haha I'm soooo glad I don't have internet at my rehearsal place where I also keep my little studio corner. I wouldn't get anything done if I had internet there... although I heard there might be wireless LAN in the whole complex so I might get a WLAN network card.... oh no, I really shouldn't :(

haha same here.

takes my mind off the fact that I had a decent mix and the band made me ruin it (bassguit way too loud etc...).
 
Yeah...just last night...while my wife was talking to me (yes...I actually WAS listening LOL), I was in front of the computer. She then asked "are you on the Sneap forum again??" (more to tease me than give me a hard time) LOL

Haha!

I think every band in the world should take a course, in which they get to spend one week here, not posting anything, just reading through all the stickied threads about mixes, guitars and all that. This would teach them that the studio engineer knows what he is doing (well he SHOULD know what he is doing) and that they should just shut the fuck up when the engineer tries to save their production quality by for example lowering the bass etc.

When I was 15-16, I recorded my first demo in a studio that was owned by the place we were rehearsing at. It was a good studio with great gear and the engineer was also good, but I remember how me and whole my band were acting like we knew everything and we wanted slight adjustments in the treble here and there, the bass here and there and yada yada. I'm 100% sure that if he had just turned up an EQ that was on bypass mode, we would still think it affected the sound and then go "alright, now it sounds great!"

I remember when I wanted him to raise the volume of some tom thing I was playing where I was hitting the toms once per bar (it was actually a pretty cool riff!), and the poor guy had to do it just to satisfy us. If that happened again today, I would just fucking re-record it and hit the toms like I mean it!

Had to link the riff... old memories... crap sound... :D It's HERE. The second riff after the silence has nothing to do with the tom things, I just included it because I realize now how fucking awesome it is! I'm not in to that opeth style at all anymore but damn... it's powerful.

Edit: I was more like 18 at that time... damn I sucked so hard on drums, I hope I hit stuff more like I actually mean it these days!

My wife does the same thing :lol:
 
Depends on the definition of being addicted... I check the forum every day (some days more than once) but I rarely post as I have nothing constructive to say, I just lurk around trying to learn something.
 
Haha!

agreed 100%! I always get n00bs to read threads here when I want to pwn them, and they wont take my word for shit! thanks guys! lol
 
I am addicted enough to this forum to have searched through and found this thread:lol:
 
FUCK THIS ADDICTION! In the 2 years Ive been here, Ive spent 30 grand on equipment, $80 a month to have ADSL 2, so I can get shit to come up quicker, put on 10 odd kilo from sitting in this fucking chair, and my porn activity has reached an all time low, and it doesnt help that all my mates reckon Im fucking (screwing) Andy Sneap, cause its "yeh, on the sneap forum, they recommend ......", or "Yeh, on the sneap forum, they say that the 5150 .......". I am looking into a METHADONE program as I speak, but just like fried chicken and coke, I cant see myself giving up at all, unless Michelle Wie decides to do a live cam involving herself, some midgets and a bowl full of M&Ms!:kickass:
