How do you all respond to demo emails?

You know, the ones that come from some supposedly random person claiming to have found the next great talent and offering you a role in his forthcoming creative musical empire?

Hi there all,

My name is Andy and I've always dabbled a bit in recording and engineering but most of my work has been as an amateur or semi-pro musician in a pro studio.

Another question i've been having recently;
how do i know that my sound is loud enough or too loud?
if it's too loud, during mastering it muds
if it's too soft, during mastering it's too sharp

Okay so i'm going to edit using reaper, mix using studio one, then make finals and send them to a friend to master, and attempt to do my own master using Samplitude pro x. is this a good idea.

My new book on record production has been very well received on Amazon. It currently has 5 stars; and a few weeks ago, it hit the #1 best seller position in Music. I would love some feedback, so I am offering the book for free on Tuesday, May 29th.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. It seems there are other threads of this type here, so...

I am working with a modified Yamaha Pacifica (new compliment of passive pickups and heavy gauge strings) played through a VOX VT40+ practice amplifier:

Looking at Pro Tools 9 or 10, is this worth it (Complete Production Toolkit 2)? I've tried to get detailed information on Avid but the page it points to goes 404 not found.

Pro Tools session expansion for music and post production

I am currently in the works of building a custom PC to be used mainly for audio recording purposes (ill use Cubase, Pro Tools, etc. ) and also will be used a bit for gaming and also for watching HD/Blu ray movies.

I just wanted to hear your opinion on this processor for these purposes and if not, suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
