1. You have no idea how much experience I have.
2. I understand that experience and time change your perception, and then you look back and you think "wow.. I think a lot different now"
But that has nothing to do with how you spoke to me in your first response. And what's with this whole "experience" thing anyway? Are you seriously trying to pull rank on me because I'm new here?
***snip*** "Things like this sound really retarded to me" ***snip***
This sentence demonstrates your attitude toward my ideas. Your attitude can be said to be intolerant of my viewpoint.
"There is no right or wrong." - I've never said otherwise. I wasn't saying "THIS IS THE WAY YOU SHOULD DO IT!" not at all. Here... I'll show you:
That is what I said. Clearly leaving room for other viewpoints, and clearly attaching what I said to myself and only myself. Not trying to pin it on anyone except me.
You say that just because something sounds good in the room means absolutely nothing. That doesn't ring true with me at all. When I'm recording, I'm recording an instrument and the room, ergo, if they sound good together, then the recording will sound good - unless I need to switch microphone or pre-amp.
I'm extrapolating from how you've spoken to me, but you seem to be very much a "fix it in the mix" kind of guy. I'm not, I want to get it right at the source. This means when I consider gear, I want to hear the source, and not the fixed-mix version.
And for your reference, I've heard your productions on your Myspace, and they don't sound that impressive to me. I listened to "Illuminate" and it just sounds muffled. The kick and bass are fighting for space too much, and there seems to be some strange clipping going on. We could put that down to the Myspace online compression though - one reason I chose to use Virb.
I never said otherwise. But, elements are influenced by other elements. You cannot physically hear what something sounds like if there are lots of different elements placed together - all you're hearing is the culmination.
That isn't bad, but it's not how I work, and that's what I was trying to discuss with you people. A few guys even actually *GASP* conversed with me about it!!
There we go, the juicy stuff, JBroll's favourite... yes, it's condescension soup!
You guys are unreal, seriously... you accuse me of being a retard, don't give any real logical explaination for why that would be, then I get called the condescending so and so, even though I'm the one under attack here because I shared a viewpoint. Then I get labelled as being intolerant on top of it.
Yet, I feel it is you who exhibits all those facets. So what are we to do at this juncture? We can continue arguing semantics, and we can continue to trade insults.
Or perhaps you should just accept that you acted like a jerk off to me and initiated a four page flame-fest and a JBroll fellatio session.
