Hello John Conley,

Gee . . . my intention was not to ruffle anyone's feathers.

The first paragraph was to try to clarify what I had in mind as "Basic Rock" as mentioned in the previous post by PeterGannon.

The paragraphs following the first one starts with the statement "If I was the producer . . ." Its just what I might do if I was in charge. Its just a guess as what I might do without knowing all the requirements set forth by PG Music for creating Real tracks.

Nothing I said was meant to be a criticism about anything that was done. All tracking engineers, including myself, all do things differently. As long as the result works, there really is no "right" way or a "wrong" way. All I wanted to do was present another "production food-for-thought". My years of experience of tracking, mixing and producing would lead me to trying to achieve a result that is most versatile. Therefore, I would not include too much room ambiance . . . IF I was the producer . . . but thats just me.

I apologize if you thought something I said was a criticism. That was not my intention. It is not my opinion that anything was done "wrong". What exists for Real Tracks are all great. I'm just human . . . I want more. LOL

Well . . . you know about opinions . . . everyone has one. The Forum is one of those places where we can express such opinion. And thats what it was . . . just an opinion.

Thanks
Ed Layola
