hey, mara, new pickup line.
"So, you like Led Zeppelin? Wow, me too!
... let's f*ck!"

Would it work on you?

LOL...as for the would it work on me? I might talk to you, but if you said let's f... Ummm... no worky

I have always been a huge fan of 70's music. Actually, I am a huge fan of music period. I really am eclectic. And hey, I listen to classical music, when I am in the mood for it.

Mara,

1. Damn. About the pickup line. PErhaps I'll redo it or something :D

2. I have always had a belief, or rather a rule or whatever whenever listneing to music. "If it sounds good, then I listen to it!"

I also believe that there is no genre that is "bad", and that any genre can be done properly.

These two rules seem simple enough but they allow me to not just stick to one music genre as my favorite.

I love all sorts of music - rock, jazz, funk, classical, reggae, grunge, ska, metal, technical rock, alternative, progressive, fusion, etc etc... even rap if it's done properly!

Punk musicians (notice how i didn't say punk Music) for the most part are terrible; they're talentless and it's just a bunch of adolescents singing about how their girlfriend left them, and then they got drunk and ate brownie drugs. :P
Though bands like greenday and pennywise are good


Here's a list I made a while back of all my favorite artists.

Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Cream/Eric Clapton, Santana, The Eagles, Rage Against the Machine, Weezer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Allan Holdsworth, anything from Cowboy Bebop (Yoko Kanno and the Seat Belts) or Trigun, Metallica, Sublime, Colonel Les Claypool and the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, The Beatles, The Kinks, James Brown, Bob Marley, Presidents of the United States of America, Primus, Foo Fighters, Spastic Ink, Galactic/Stanton Moore, Creed, P.O.D., Offspring, Green Day, Less Than Jake, System of a Down, Tenacious D, Tool, Korn (old stuff only), Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Bill Evans, Sonny Stitt and Red Holloway, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Eminem, Fitty Cent (haha), MC Hammer (sarcasm, people.)

Hey Supahsexy, sound engineering is a blast, but its not like everything you record is what I would call 'good music' hehe....

It would be nice to be well known and have some credentials to go anywhere and record anybody, but its kind of like trying to be a musician for a living. You will find a lot of engineers are part time because of that. A lot of big studios are run by people who have enough money to build one and not stress about their rent.
What I have noticed is since computer audio is so cheap now and there are a lot of manufacturers out there, like Behringer or Alesis, that crank out cheap gear, a lot of it emulates the real stuff. You see a lot of home recording going on. So your average joe studio that like sprung up in the late 90's, exponentially, is really having a hard time staying open.

What you might want to do is talk to your teacher and get his opinion. Also I would maybe see if he would be willing to let you work with him or another person he knows. That is the best way to learn, really. Take a class or two at some community college and learn about the basic stuff. I wouldnt recommend going to one of those expensive schools, unless its not a big deal to pay for it, or if you really want to get a lot of contacts. You may not be learning on an SSL board, but even a little Mackie uses the same logic. A bus is a bus, an Aux is an Aux. Pre fader, post fader, etc.... The main difference is you might not be using some of the 'standard' outboard gear and mics you will see in a nice studio. Cause that stuff is expensive. My favorite all time piece of gear is the Radar24... mmmm its a hard disk recorder, its so fast and easy to use, but very complex if you want it to be. So get into a studio that has one!

I dont know. You might want to move to LA or something =) or Nashville. Someplace where the studios are working day and night. The northwest is kind of a sucky market for studios because there are too many.

Thanks for the insight, marble.

Unfortunately i won't have a chance to talk with my teacher until next september rolls around, so... :D
