Message: [QUOTE="DonnyThompson, post: 415924, member: 46114"] To Kurt: It wasn't something I would have deleted. His choice of descriptive words was poor, as in[I] "tremendous"[/I]... or [I]"how to mix a bass guitar"...[/I] if he had simply said, [I]"here's a way I was able to get an alternate bass tone using the following"[/I] then I'm not sure that this thread would have created the heat that it did, but he didn't violate any TOS that I'm aware of, and we can't delete posts simply because we don't personally agree with what someone has to say. That being said.... To the OP: Kurt's correct... you don't "own" a thread, and you can't dictate who reads and who comments - or, [I]how[/I] they comment. Any time that you post, you are allowing others to comment, and the comments may or may not be what you want to hear. If you are looking for a group of sycophantic yes-men, then you're in the [I]wrong place[/I]. You've also chosen a forum that has a roster of professionals in its ranks - veterans - who have been in this business a long time, who work with some very nice gear, who still believe in actual talent in both performance and engineering, and who have little patience for those who don't also take the craft seriously or who post in an effort to simply up their social media site or soundcloud view/listen count. Your original post was aimed at those who either have [B]A.[/B] no money to get serious about the craft, or [B]B.[/B] who have decided that all they need is a copy of PT, an M-Box I/O and a handful of plugs to make them "professionals", so they feel that investing seriously into the craft is a waste of time because they don't need to. The tone you presented wasn't [I]"tremendous"[/I]. It was [I]"average"[/I]. It was pretty much the stock-tone of nearly every bedroom/basement PT/Sonar/Cubase studio I've ever heard. Perhaps next time, if you simply reined in the adjectives of how [I][B]great[/B][/I] you are, and instead simply state that this is a process you used to get a tone that you liked and were sharing that process, then you won't face the critical back-lash that happened this time. d/.
