Chill, not necessarilly 9/11 related... Options

[Sanders]

There are a lot of people here that are what can only be described as, friends. We have been through a lot together.

Sometimes people just want to talk. Thinking and talking about nothing but 9/11 and the government and the world going to s#hit before our eyes makes jack a dull boy. Here we talk about whatever we want. (Within reason, lol !!)

I was a little hesitant about naming this "chill", because there was another place on another board somewhere for the same purpose with the exact same thread title .... but you know what, I can't think of anything better, and, it was I who pegged the name in the first place so I own the freakin' rights (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .

Enjoy -

hey sanders, im curious about what your best accomplishments are in your music work.

hmmmmm ... volume? (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The thing that kind-of sucks is that equipment keeps getting more and more elaborate, flexible and sophisticated - but sounds worse and worse. People rage about how great records sounded in the 60's and 70's, really it wasn't that hard back then (I started in 1980, just in time for the crappy sounding consoles to come in) to make a good sounding record - you just plugged everything in and hit record - the equipment, the tape, it just sounded like that. To make a record now that has that kind of warmth, punch, etc. is very difficult. I think the recording business is the only industry in the world where yearly technological advancements make it harder and harder for people to do their job (make records that sound good). Every few years some new thing comes along that becomes the new standard and we (engineers, mixers) have to figure out ways to make up for the loss in actual audio quality, cursing and muttering the whole time, lol. <_<

The thing that's great these days, and this addresses the other part of your post, is that anyone can make a record. The home version of pro-tools (the recording/editing software that all the pros use) is only about a thousand dollars I think. You can make records with it.

The only other thing you need is ideas and other people to goof around with.
