I decided to be adventurous

Being the trombonist I am, I went and joined the Trombone Forum. MAAAAN, lemee tell you, those guys are pretty dry.
I've been on forums where the people are upfront and tell you how things are....I've been part of forums where people sorta give you that cheesy awkward smile and a gold star and aren't readily able to admit that stuff isn't that gray. I've been on forums made entirely of trolls who can only put your best work down.
But never have I been on a forum where everything feels SO fact based and I actually feel like a MEGA_NOOB.

    I had the same experience years ago when I joined a classical guitar forum.

    These forums are the best, period.
    Why else a Logic user would stick around otherwise? :P

    Haha, agreed. Here there is so much reality, a lot of knowledge taught that can be transferred between different tools and workspaces, and then it's also just fun to get to know you guys. I definitely appreciate being part of this community! (even though I'm sort the odd-man-out when it comes to the musical styles I choose to pursue XD)
