Ethan Winer is my hero.

Do you remember that musical piece he did on his cello. That was awesome,

I remember when he left this forum in search of Pro tools

that vid is cool, anyone find the mag he said we could read , i think you have to subscribe.
 id like to read his opinion

I just stumbled on this old tread. 

5 years ago I read an article he wrote about learning to play cello as an adult.  I sent him an email and he recommended a cello teacher local to me.  It worked out great and I've learned to play reasonably well, not to his level though. :)

It turns out that he lives about a mile from me.  I ran into him and his wife in Costco a few weeks back.  He's a great guy.

Some interesting stuff there.

The really interesting stuff is why different personalities still get confused by the same issues and like he says resort to trading insults.

I think the biggest two factors is the market which likes to perpetuate myths in order to sell more products which again gets reinforced by those trying to justify the amount they've just spent on said products.

There are likely many more reasons too but by my own personal reckoning which is not based on any science whatsoever singles those two things out as being the source of most confusion.

Here even today was a post asking if the sound card had any bearing on Sonar's output.  Not the posters fault but more down to the fact it is hard to establish the facts alongside so much invested in the desire to keep the BS afloat.

btw I like Ethan too but I wouldn't go as far as saying he's a hero of mine, just that he found out long ago what are much more recent discoveries for me.

I used to get strung up a few years ago just by mentioning the output from my Realtek was on a par with many of what people were calling 'pro-interfaces.'  The facts, tests and figures bore out my findings but not many liked the idea that it was indeed largely true.

Ethan would have backed me up to the hilt.  I know that today.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to argue the facts these days so now we see a trend of not more high fidelity but add-ons that rough up the perfection in what we are told are 'musical sounding' ways.  Clever DSP's that we are bombarded with that are claimed to smear pristine audio with artistic colour in a way that you cannot argue about with mere factual evidence.

It's good business and is the way of the future.

Cool, thanks Mike.

 I was just reading the book description and I Like What I read.....

the book is written for people who want to understand audio at the deepest, most technical level, without needing an engineering degree. It's presented in an easy-to-read, conversational tone" 
 

Great article, and WHAT a player! Wow!

 Here you go Mike:
 
 
 
 
 
 
Out later this year by the look of it.
 
 
And here's a LINK
 

I hope this is NOT where he reveals all you need is a Realtek, Cueballse, an MXL mic and Sonitus plugs to make hit records. Not sure about that box with the VU meter. Mebee that's the majik bullet.

If you buy the book directly from Ethan, it costs $60 versus $42 from Amazon but it comes with his entertaining video - and is autographed! 

(I'll be ordering mine from Amazon, sorry Ethan.)

I may do the same because of that cost difference, but in fairness it's not just the "entertaining video" being offered, but also a DVD with all the software and audio/video content for the book as a convenience to having to download it (or watch it online with lesser quality).  At least that's the way I understand it.

Ethan, I got a big kick out of your R-rated video on bass traps...It was hilarious !!
