Re: Recording Engineering

Jared,
You become a triple threat when you can read music, know when someone is playing the wrong notes or not keeping in time, and can hear the difference between an SM81 and KM 84 and know when to use one over the other. Our art was even more in demand during the days of analog tape. Today software makes up for a lot of mistakes that are best handled at the source before you need to take action. As you become more involved, things like drum sampled tracks become obscene when you hear them playing over and over within a song.
One of my heroes was Les Paul. He had all of these qualities and was a nice guy to boot. He was the father of modern electric guitar construction, multitrack recording, console engineering and a great musician. Much of what we take for granted today, Les had to invent to make things sound the way he wanted.
