    Default Sound engineers are overrated

    Im just kidding. I just said that to get people in here.

    Damn, I love audio. What makes it feel so rewarding and fulfiling? What is it about those tiny buttons, the rows of knobs, impatient musicians, and blinking lights that interests us? I couldnt imagine myself doing anything else and being happy doing it.

    I know what you mean .... I played in a band for fifteen years before I realized that the only reason I did it was so I could play with the knobs ... :D

    Blinking light just make it better ..... meters moving, now I am really high!

    Do you agree that hardware is better than looking at software versions on a screen for the lights, meters, etc?

    yes, waveforms are the best part of digital displays. I hate scrolling thru layers of menus to get somewhere.

    Let's not forget the sweet smell of gear warming up. It's like morning coffee to me everytime I walk into a studio.
    Power on, the distinct aroma of electronic components warming up and then the visual buzz of meters, lights and knobs... lol.

    Cheers!

    I think the mothership of lights and knobs has to be the Sony Oxford. I had the luxury of using one when I was studying at SAE Miami. I use to just love to put in a miles cd every now and then and just turn the lights off and watch that thing glow!
