Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. It's nice to say a virtual hello to you - I have been reading your musings for so long on rec.audio.pro and here.
In any case, I really appreciate the perspective. I'm the performer, engineer and producer, so I am really working in a vacuum. Getting back into creating some music again after a bit of a hiatus. Haven't been in the music business for quite awhile - so my work is strictly for my own love of creating it, but nonetheless, I strive to learn and do quality work.
I hope to get involved in some conversations here - though I feel that I know far less than the regulars, I love to discuss music and recording (and poker, but that's a whole other thing).
