LOL! Really, I did peak in yesterday. I wish I had more time for music as most of us do but guess we have to set our priorities. I don't mind the hijacking and yes Andy I don't come here as often as I should because it seems there aren't too many people to collab with these days!! Not like the good 'ol days for some reason. But, it's probably just me.
I do agree with the point that many people don't respect your opinion too much if they don't think you are an authority. When I sometimes comment with my opinion, I have frequently gotten the cold shoulder, I won't say necessarily here, but yes here too, in the form of no response or my post completely overlooked. I may not know much about the instrumental parts but I do have an opionion on whether I like it or not as the "audience". I therefore, don't comment much any more, but I do listen as much as I can. Therefore, if I don't comment, I don't expect comments back.
Regarding Steffen's comment about the mix .... it's never done ... and Steffen is proof of that hahaha! So, anytime a comment is warranted, it shouldn't matter what stage it is at, it can always be better. It's more a matter of what you can live with. And, that goes for the lyric too. There are many times I would have liked to edit the words after the fact, but darn if the singer wants to sing again once they've moved onto another project. I think it's easier to remix than re-create.
@Mark, not sure why you guys have wife's who don't like your music but it seems to be a common theme, didn't you play for them while you were dating
Cheers all and thanks for the comments and the dialogue.
Thanks a bunch Holger, I haven't seen you around much either
