this is the reason I do not participate in the forum!
I have been a member since i bought home studio 6 and I have received a great deal of help since my days as a complete newbie. In my early days i asked a TON of "stupid" questions and received a huge amount of helpful, educational and friendly responses. There was also a fair amount of good humoured "mickey taking" which was followed by an answer to my question.
I also posted some things in the "wrong" place and was politely pointed in the right direction.
over the past few months this forum has shown a tendency to judgementalism and superiority syndrome by certain members.
those that helped in my early days have my grattitude, and one person has my money too ( great videos Karl - aka fastbikerboy)
Mr OP - you are a platinum member - you should know better.
A little while ago there was a thread related to a late member of this forum (BA Midi) which epitomised the best of this forum - BA MIdi was knowledgeable, helpful and respectful at all times but also strongly opinionated and his passing exposed a great deal of RESPECT.
i really don't understand why posting a song to solicit opinion from anywhere is wrong, after all we are all musicians to a greater or lesser degree, so what's the problem with soliciting opinion from fellow musicians - what are you afraid of ? is his/her/their "bronze" capability superior to your "platinum" capability?
wind your neck in, give people the benefit of the doubt and then go look in the mirror and remember the days when you were less perfect than you are now.
