What I love about Dave Darlington's presentations is he's a natural communicator and teacher. I can't help learning from him, effortlessly. And his sophisticated, highly experienced yet readily accessible approach is a treasure trove to those ready to learn. It's certainly not the case that you have to do things exactly his way; he's generous with latitude. Many thanks to you Dave, and to Manny and Waves.
I don't want to generalise, but I will! :o) Back in the day, people had time and would think before they spoke. The more gear I have, the less recording I do. Wendy Carlos said "Every new piece of technology saves me minus 10-15% time." When people just had a tape machine and desk, some compressors and reverbs then it was all down to mic technique and playing. He's had decades to consider everything. Today its like some mad competition to master everything before the new technology blows it away and, and - What would Jimi be doing now?
I bought it today, thanks Waves for this creative build EQ and your sales, people are lucky with that!!!! Cheers, Jeroen Simons, Independent/ex- Epica.
