Last year I built my very first DAW. I spent about 4 months searching the internet on reviews and educating my self on what works and what does not. What I want and what I do not.
I put a list together and asked for advice right here in this very column. I got a ton of it from wonderful folk
including Jim and Aleriga and Scott just to mention a couple of them.....
Before I actually did purcahse my components I not only purchased one but three consultations with Jim.......absolutely the best thing I ever did.....I found that I was 95% of the the way there with my specs......Jim took me the rest of the way.........
during this whole conversation Alegira was trying
very hard to help me as well.....once I did get my DAW Built Alegria asked me for my final spec's and I gave him everything that I found out on my own but I had to exclude the items that Jim and I discussed.......just because of the issues that are being discussed in this thread......
I know that this did not go down well with Alegira BUT.....He was gracious enough to understand my point and for that I applaud him.......because since then I have seen him try to help others as well.....Kudos Brother......
My point is this.......Jim is a top notch customer service orientated individual. He knows his stuff and is willing to help as much as he can......and I am grateful to him....and his consultations were well worth the investment.....it matters not what others think.....my opinion of him is all that matters to me......
I am also grateful to all others who have helped or tried to help me along the way.....But when you do pay a PROFESSIONAL for his knowledge, resources, time, effort, education and EXPERIENCE you as an individual need to realize that there is a level of confadentiallity that goes with this......if you do not that is sad......
Jim, Alegria, Scott you guys are well appreciated here......thank you for your time and effort of trying to help us who struggle.......one of them being me......
Your time and effort is not lost on people who have been around this forum for a while who benefit the most from your kindness.......unlike .....well you know the rest of the line........
