1) I watched Geoff Petrie play when I was little; 2) I took a basketball class in college. That is all.
Once a person realizes life (and basketball) is not black or white, it's grey...then you become an expert. More wisdom and patience, less emotion. Not much of that in here.
No one is an expert in basketball there a lot knowledgeable people in and out of the game. You always learning in the game that's by watching and listening. Am I knowledge about the game sure but I also learn something new all the time about the game. I been player a coach and I referee. But when I doing those 3 thing I was learning to make myself better at them. Everyone can see the same play but have 10 different opinion on that play does that make them 10 different opinion incorrect no doesn't due everyone looks at a different way. But instead getting in bitch session by someone opinion on something in here you might to ask there person why did you see that way and the reason why see your way he'll you both might be right even see different.
It's what I like to call the difference between talking with people or talking at people.....this place tends to have small groups that talk at each other more than with each other...I enjoy differing opinions when there's humor and respect involved. Learn a lot...as a fan, anybody saying we suck everyday for years must not be that informed or they'd be a fan of a team they didn't think sucked. Dealing with losses is also part of having a BBIQ..
Thats what I'm asking. I don't think you have to be an expert of the game to make it in the game obviously. Look at all the guys who made it on pure athletisism. That's why I asked this question. Very curious about how this all works.
I have huge respect for recording engineers after trying to do it myself for many decades...it's hard to coach yourself the way a third party might be able to...that recording engineer can hear things I live with everytime I sing or play and tell me where signals are muddying up the mix. Many of the great coaches were failed players. Many great players are failed coaches....I've recorded hundreds of songs and still don't like the vocal or bass mixes on any of them....one day I'll buck up and hire an engineer to do it right. I know how to put parts together already but to give them dynamics...that's a skill. I've worked on other people's recordings with an engineer in the booth and what a difference.
I have ginormous respect fir recording engineers. My band is currently recording our first album and we are trying to engineer/produce it ourselves. Started recordings in August, hoping to be done by Christmas. And we will...Christmas of 2020!
Unlike most of you losers, I was on a championship team. In 9th grade. In PE class. 3 on 3. In the 'fat, handicapped, and/or uncoordinated kids' league. But still, a champion. So I know the game. barfo
almost 3 years sober my friend...probably never take another drop of booze...but I do make a mean double espresso first thing in the morning before my hike.
Cool! EQ is the best effect there is in music recording in my book...if I had one stomp box for my strat it'd be a 5 band EQ...I'd actually like to use two of them for different tones. My next project I'm going to mike my acoustic in stereo instead of using the Piezo pickup...just use the line out for live gigs
We're discovering all the ramifications if compression, and mixing drums front and center..also, the occasional slapback double-tracking lead vocal or guitar solos. Seems a Masters from MIT is needed. Once upon a time I told my son if you wanna be a professional athelete, pick up a tennis racket or golf club,. Today, I would say if you wanna get into music, learn to be am engineer. There's decent money if you're good at it. Peace.
I guess I could rephrase and say "hired by a company to write about the blazers" or have a credential with lockerroom access
Popovich is an extremely angry individual both with his players, refs, and media. Does that mean he can't be an expert on basketball? BTW, I'm trying to have a civil discussion with you, no need to call a disagreement "shocking."
My musical mentors always said, you can either play in the clubs or you can own the clubs.....I've discovered a Jamaican trick for recording bass that I want to try out...they put the speaker against the wall instead of facing the room..then mike the wall...gets a huge sound. Also discovered a bit of miking acoustic guitars with two mikes ..positioning is everything for those..vocals to me require a microphone that costs more than my truck....I've used those orchestral mikes in the studio playing percussion on Taiwanese pop records and you can make a small hand drum stand up next to a full drum kit...microphones are the place to put your money....I only have a blue ring SM57 and a blue ring SM58 plus an old Shure unisphere analogue mike from the 60s that has a volume control on it...fun mike to run through a delay. I also have a Shure headset mike that you need to boost the hell out of to get a good sound from
