Not a rare breed mate, but a studio engineer who bothered to learn more than Pro Tools and Logic, I'm certified in both of those for working purposes, although this in itself doesn't mean that much but 8 years using those 2 systems at work plus Live and Cubase (which I was using since the Atari ST days) at home adds up to a decent knowledge of those systems) and yes, over the course of several years spent more time tweaking and twiddling sh*t and getting geeky with software for others and self than enjoying making his own music, that part is correct ! Then again, recording and engineering is a passion as valid as being a musician or a DJ.

I apologize if I seem like I was shouting off the lip but the magazine article (which maybe took things out of context, or edited your comments, or whatever) does SEEM to make a bold claim that you regard Live as basically fine for Live use or composition, but isn't serious enough to mix down with - I don't know if this is what you intended, but this is how it reads to some people. Maybe you can clarify this to pre-empt others making generalizations or misinformation ?

I get where you're coming from re the Nuendo mixer and some of the plugins, I really do - However, Live is fine for mixing down, the quality of the mix comes from the skill of the operator regardless of which system you use. That one system gets you from A to B quicker I get, this is not the same though as suggesting system A is good, system B is not - which some people will interpret as the message. Maybe you can set us straight?

come on guys..its pretty clear who are the retards here.. Mr 20000 forum posts...

but i can answer for him.. its pretty easy.. he will say tha you cant compare such things because its analoge..

what implies that all digital desks sound the same oh no.. all daw´s sound the same ..

interesting.. all digital desks dont sound the same but all daw´s do?

so you can spend 1 billion on a digital ssl console and it will sound the same tan your 400 bucks daw?

and a soundblaster card is good enough anyway as an converter and everything alse are the audio myth that keep the industry going...

something like that what makes total sense..

I wouldn't be so bold to go out on a limb and make a statement like that. I actually do have a grasp at it's full functionality.
Gormless regurgitation aka bullshitting is his forte. Which might go someway to explaining his unemployed status.

hoho! - isn't it YOU who should have clarified from the beginning that you were regurgitating shit you picked up from a magazine? lol. And now asking him to clarify in order to pre-empt other shitehawks from talking out of their ass ? c'est magnifique! bravo!

I believe he already has. But sadly that won't stop you from bullshitting again in the future.

:P

I've never said that. I've actually said I love live. LOL ...only issue i have is with "my" perceived evaluation and my peers supposedly mysterious malady because "we don't know what we're talking about because the two audio files null" when it comes to live's sound engine. Oh and Eucon plus sysex support.

Dennis
I am with you on the lack of eucon support fella. :) Tis a big gap IMO.

I was asking Mr. Ferrer for his response in a respectful way. I don't believe you are actually Mr. Ferrer, nor someone associated with him to speak on his behalf.

You're incapable of being respectful with your insults and inflammatory behaviour, you find it impossible to restrain yourself from personal insults, attacks and flaming.

Perhaps one day you'll grow up and learn how to express yourself with respectability and not throw your toys out of the pram at anything you disagree with and be a troll.

3Phase can at least argue his points without having to post google pics, edit quotations and call people insulting names (if they didn't insult him first at least). Maybe you can learn a lesson or two with him.


BTW - Tone - I won't be answering that question, that argument even crosses the line for me ;)

More delusional posts...

I didn't use google pics or insults etc to argue a point.

I didn't attempt to speak on Mr F's behalf and Mr F is free to answer you if Mr F feels you're worth the time =) Hopefully he has more sense than to address someone who is so accustomed to talking out of his anus.

I did, however, comment on your response to Mr F - which was laughable :D


His comments on Mr F's production are another textbook case of leeds talking shit about something and it turns out he's repeating shit he picked up elsewhere. He's an echo-chamber of old or incorrect info.
