Paul, you and I have that audio thing running through our veins. I've
now been at it for over 30 years now. Never had golden ears, but
tarnished silver (of course) might be an applicable description.
I actually like the LS-9. I'm a Yamaha junky, though. At the church,
I'm still using an 01V, but the home studio is built around a
hot-rodded AW4416 with WAVES plugin card. I'm using Audacity for
individual track maintenance, but almost all multitrack work is done
on the AW4416. Also running video editing and sequencer software in
the computers tied to the keyboards. Everything is MIDI time-coded for
my in-home system.
The daughters are doing stuff with the setup and I do a couple things
a year, as well as do mixdowns for bands. Bands will provide me with
the multitrack source material, I'll load it in the system and do my
magic (Audio version of Moosifications).
It never ceases to amaze me when musicians will buy amazing
instruments, preamps, etc., but won't bother to record in a proper
acoustic space. The amount of cleanup work required to get rid of a
nasty acoustical environment is, well, one of the reasons I don't do
much of this anymore. I tired of dealing with overly sensitive ego
driven idiots.
And then, horrors of all horrors, they think that they can "master"
the songs themselves on the same equipment they recorded on, in their
own nasty environment, with blown speakers.
Speaking of such, I'm really enjoying my new near-fields.
