Hi,
>Instead they are stuck with crap like Protools.
LoL, aint it the truth!
I find it encouraging that so many people are
convinced they need Protools. That reality is a wide
open door of opportunity for LAD. I try not to think
about this as a commercial opportunity even though I
make my living as an engineer, producer and studio
owner. For me it's about the music and friendships.
LAD people have some great tools and we're gonna make
alot of new friends because we've got something to
share. Think about it this way, the next musician is
your blood brother/sister. What do you want for your
sister? I want herto be free. We're gonna "turn on"
alot of people.
We have the silver version of a multi-platinum single
hanging on the wall of our studio--the original tracks
were produced by my partner. That piece of crap was
produced with an 8bit sampler. I'll eat monkey farts
for breakfast before I recommend that my sister
purchase Protools and succomb to the "man".
Incidentally, my pallet is a little more sophisticated
than animal excrement--it's all about the Kraft
Mac&Cheese for this dawg.
During Novemeber my band will begin producing its new
album. I've done a couple of real fun productions over
the years and this one promises to be Mac&Cheese with
a glass of cold milk. My friends who will work on this
album all know about LAD. They are excited, in part
because of your tools and philosiphy. My friends and I
are like tractor repairmen who do not feel good about
buying new axels. We feel good when we fire up the
welder and fix the broken parts ourselves. We've got
everything in common with the tractor repairman. We
need that satisfaction.
I know this community is gonna produce alot of good
music.
When the delta blues musicians sang, "my baby done me
wrong," baby was a reference to the plantation owner
(I learned that on TV and know it to be the truth,
hehe). Those men were not obbsesed with how baby had
hurt their feelings. They were outraged by how their
owners were destroying their families. Those people
produced some important music. Perhaps my owner can't
physically intimidate me. However, they have
controlled my intellectual and property freedoms and
they've ignored me. I hate being ignored and that BS
stops here! LoL
Well, there I go opening my big mouth. Again! I'll go
wipe the grease off some dirty wrenches and cease with
the annoying diatribe.
