My girlfriend drove a Volvo, straight-drive. She was not a patient teacher and I was inept. She smacked me upside the head a couple times.

chef or no, if one has never experienced but say Taco Bell, one may not have a sufficient criteria to judge things they aren't accustomed to. and may prefer what they're used to, for life.

Sure, you have to have tasted the gourmet food, but not necessarily have made it yourself.

My tastes are wide and would include both sht and sunshine to many people, so I am not even going to pretend I am gourmet. As far as my skills go, I think I got what I need as far as making music goes, but I do already owe a lot to the helpful posters in the music cafe as far as my mixing and mastering concern. Better know thy level and learn than continually overestimate yourself. Mediocrity is not thy enemy but the point from which you can only move forward :D

Most don't aquire them either. Salieri is the patron saint of common man, not Mozart, he was just spoiled by nature and/or upbringing. Lucky little twat.

pekbro wrote: Sun Jul 04, 2021 2:38 pm The funny thing is, I know quite a few professional musicians and a couple sound guys, all of them support themselves by music alone. They gig and tour, they play small venues and large ones, some of them venues of half a million people. Not a single one of them has ever even mentioned software. Granted they are not electronic musicians, but they simply don't use it or even know anything about it quite often. Even after performing for 40 years or more, and believe me, I have asked them, a lot. :shrug:
that's a really well known logical fallacy, argument from personal anecdote/hasty generalization et cetera
verging on argunent from ignorance.

I don't mean disrespect but constructively, don't do this, it doesn't make any real argument.
I could say I don't know anybody in music that isn't using software, wouldn't be worth anything either.
I could do appeal to authority and point to Bill Cobham; likes BFD and uses a Zendrum and is happy not to always have to cart.
still...
I was just saying it matter of factly, of course its just a small sampling of musicians and in
no way indicative of anything. just something i have observed across a range of success levels in the music biz. i would love to be able to talk music software with my friend the multi-millionaire guitarist or the 40 year studio musician guy etc, but i cant.

*i kind of thought of "the funny thing is part" as a qualifier, but i guess not. :shrug:
