Or not. Doesn't matter - either way you're all getting a gift today. What is it? Well the newest noob to arrive of course - me! You're all the proud new owners of a gently used but still in great condition SineEyed! That's awesome right? Yaaay!
Let's just hope you all know how to share
Ok then, moving on - I'm not sure if this is the right spot to post, being such a noob that I am - how new is new enough at software orchestration to be a "noob" by your standards? I've got just about two years in now - that's still probably new enough, yeah? Or do I have to be like, a clean slate kind of noob, who has yet to write his first phrase?
In any case, hello everybody! I'm Sine, and I'm happy to have found this site, and of course the forum herein. I found this place pretty much exactly how Mattias describes it in the first part of his noobie faq post actually. I had a few things I was working on and there came a point where I realized the over all sound needed help. It was just thereafter I slipped and fell into the rabbit hole that is mixing. Holy crap I had no idea how much stuff was in front of me that needed learning just so I could get what Ive recorded to sound at least somewhat similar to the tune that had played in my head. This is something to which I'm sure you all relate to some degree.
I'm the type who prefers to learn as much as he can on his own without resorting to the help of others in any way. It satisfies like nothing else when somewhere down the road you find out that some particular technique you came up with on your own, just so happens to be what some reputable industry insider is showing people how to do nowadays. I dunno, it's just an example - that being said though, I'm not foolish enough to think I could learn everything and master it all on my own. Some things I find intuitive - before knowing all of Jack from Squat about mixing music, I still made sensible use of pan pots in my songs. To me, it just made sense that I should do so. Other things however, simply don't come as intuitively for me. Reverb, for example. I had looked into it - just a little - grabbed a couple tips and applied what I "learned" to a
couple pieces I was working on. Not to be overly dramatic but the end result was somewhat disastrous. I pretty much fubar'd those tracks lol. I had to accept the fact that I was going to need as much insight into mixing techniques as I could get, which led me here.
I have a tendency to be long-winded sometimes - too caught up in the telling of the tale. It's probably best I cut myself off here and say hello again and thanks for having me and I really look forward to interacting with you guys!..
