Q0. Philosophy<br />
A short quote from an alt.music.4-track reader:<br />
From mucilage@unity.ncsu.edu Thu Sep 15 02:29:08 1994<br />
Message-ID: <br />
"Now, of course, I'm not Mr. Hi-fi, but then any idiot who goes crazy<br />
trying to replicate perfect hi-fi sound in a home studio is<br />
by-and-large nuts, when he/she could just save up that money and go<br />
rent studio time in a 16-track analog studio with a decent mic package<br />
for about $30 - $35 an hour.<br />
"I've got some advice fer you: spend a little more time writing songs and<br />
practicing them, and a little less time tweaking your superbedroomstudio.<br />
I've heard more clean-sounding 4-track demos of more shitty songs than<br />
I'll ever care to elaborate on.<br />
"And always remember this: every single device in the signal path alters<br />
the signal. Period. There is no perfect transparent mic. There are not<br />
even different levels of alteration, really--just different types, some<br />
of which sound more "normal" than others.<br />
