Hello! I just found your group and decided to join and so now I feel
it's only polite to tell you all a little about myself.

My name is Tom and I live in the midlands (UK). I live with my parents
and have recently turned their dining room into my studio. They don't
mind really. The main reason I actually set it up was so my band could
have a place to rehearse when our old studio closed down last month but
now that I've put a computer in and brought a few cables, I've started
recording aswell. I'm running Cubase SX on WinME. I've got an Alesis
Multimix8 desk and Warrior Pro 600w amp plus many little odds and ends.

Current projects include my own album (which will be folkyish
possibly), my friends death metal band "Convict Pensioner" who have
just recorded their EP with me and also the guitarist from my band
asked me if he could come and record here sometime soon.

Anyway I feel that is all I want to say for now. If you want to talk to
me or ask me anything then go for it! I look forward to many long
late-night discussions about valve amps lol.

Hi Tom,

Welcome to the group! I'm not in charge or anyone in particular for that
matter but I've been around RAP ( Rec.Audio.Pro ) for 5 or 6 years. To start
out you should read through the FAQ at : http://www.recaudiopro.net/

Also, if you can buy the 5th RAP CD compilation. It's five discs worth of
recording education with interesting and impressive engineering with stuff
from technical test tones to funny novelty songs to pieces of music that
will blow you away. And if you have a turntable the is a special vinyl RAP
compilation available through Scott Dorsey ( his email address is near the
top of the FAQ )

Other than that have a good time here. RAP has often been referred to as
sort of a huge virtual bar room where you will meet people at all levels of
audio recording, you'll learn tons of new stuff, make some nice
acquaintances and even friends, see a lot of BS ( some in fun by regulars,
some malicious by unwanted outsiders ) and people calling other people on
their BS ( some good natured, some annoyed and some down right ****ed off ).
There are all too often discussions that get out of control and off topic,
normally into areas of religion and politics, but, that happens everywhere
in the world! Some times well meaning people will try to answer someone
else's question but if the information supplied isn't correct, someone will
almost always jump in with a correction, sometimes polite and helpful,
sometimes like angry bezerkers swinging wildly! ;-) And don't assume that
the polite ones are right and the ones with bad attitudes are wrong. We are
lucky to still have here many well seasoned industry pros with great
knowledge but after seeing misinformation passed around the internet some of
them may get a little annoyed. Just take things with a grain of salt, stick
up for yourself, but keep in mind that there are a lot of ways to do the
same thing

So, welcome aboard!

Welcome.... can't say anything more accurate in reflecting the nature
of the group than what John has said in his acknowledgement.

I look forward to many long
late-night discussions about valve amps lol.

Some people are here daily, others only a few times per week... so
don't expect the conversation to end in a single night. ;-)

Oh, just **** off, you stick-swinging, tub-thumping, pontificating
DRUMMER you! g

Now, someone step in and correct me by saying that what I *really* meant
to say was "John's right" and mention that he's actually a really good
guy too!

BTW, what's the best computer under $200 for posting to Usenet? It will
be used primarily for flaming. Does that mean I need one with a
Firewall?

Tom, hang around and read for a while and get a feel for who's who.
We've occasionally lost valued contributors when they decided that their
time was too valuable to waste on reading flames from newbies.

You *******! I worked my fingers to the BONE to make my welcome post what it
is, then YOU come in here with your whining insensitive attitude . . . . .
oh it makes me mad . . .

Thanks for the compliment by the way! ;-)
