SPAK Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I think there is an awful lot of work here Jon, I know you have your doubts about the gear you have but this proves what everyone on this site knows ... a good song works .. no matter what. For me, I'd say great mixing, sung your way and a hell of a lot of content in a simple bit of work, I love great lyrics and I think this, coupled with your mix makes this A* .. More of this ...

ATB Steve @SPAKHey, thanks so much, Steve. I really appreciate your kind thoughts and words. Fact of the matter is I love my gear. It suits my budget and it sounds great to me. The arguments you heard a few months back about my not being satisfied with my gear all stems from a certain nameless person on this forum who just can't seem to review any of my songs without making a negative comment about my "samples". I just got so tired of it that I verbally "let him have it". He's probably is so pissed at me for doing so that he'll probably never comment on any of my songs again, but I really don't care. If he can't comment without attacking what I use I'd rather him not comment at all. We all have our preferences of what we use based on many factors (budget, satisfaction with sound, ease of use, etc). I really don't think it's cool to continuously remind somebody that you don't approve of their choice of equipment (virtual or otherwise). I tolerated it the first one or two times, but after that I lost it. It gets tiring after awhile. I use Toontrack for keys and drums. Hate me if you want if they're not classy enough for you Just don't listen or comment, but I know for a fact that there are several Toontrack users hanging on these forums. It's like you said, Steve, a good song works, no matter what. I respect everybody else's choice of gear. I appreciate the same consideration from others. Rant over.?? ?Cheer JB PS-If anybody wants to chime in with a problem with what I said above, as I say in this song "Even though we don't see eye to eye, we can agree to disagree". That's all I'm saying on the matter. I will not turn this song thread into a drama. ? Edited February 6, 2020 by Johnbee58 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
