Yet another reason to stay out the box

[Albatross]

Must be very confusing though, for a youngun now. Some of the people on this thread were brought up with tape machine, desk and a few bit and bobs. It was a good education. For us, the DAW was a revelation!

Now, I don't know where I'd start to get my head around all the stuff that's just there for the taking. And educational/promotional videos show all this complexity and dos and don'ts. I mean ... we can't blame people for losing the plot and thinking they need this that or the other.

What we are really doing is throwing novices into the most sophisticated studios on earth, which is what a modern daw on a modern computer is, and having them think they can probably master the thing in some weeks or months. And when they can't, wheel in yet another rack of gear and patch it in to the already unfathomable studio.

I'd like to see an article on how to make a decent record with eight tracks and some elastic bands.

I’m sure you would have some snappy numbers recorded in no time. . .
Oh, is that taxi for me . . .
