Why don't you telephone John Gilby and advise him
to use a Roland keyboard instead, Arny?

He might not like the touch of the keyboard. He surely
knows what exists and what he wants.

I am sure you could get him a good deal
from Walmart.

Iain's ignorance of the US professional audio market
demonstrated yet again. WalMart is far from being a
Roland dealer.

Since when has any knowledge of the 'US professional
audio market' been a requirement or even a legitimate
expectation of any poster to this *UK recreational*
newsgroup?

When they pretend they have expertise but post total ********.


If you are referring to Iain, why do you doubt he has the expertise?



Morning Keith.

Two things here.

It is difficult for our amateur church recordist to
come to terms with the fact that there are people
out there who do the job professionally (with formal
training and a lifetime of experience far greater than
his own) and that his church activities are worlds away
from "real" professional commercial recording.

Working as a church volunteer is highly commendable
in itself, so why try to make it into something which it is
not? To anyone who sings in Arny's choir, the recordings
are of "internal" interest. To anyone else, particular someone
who is musical or knows something about recording they
are dismal beyond words:-(

Most people of my acquaintance who have heard "Domine"
stare blankly in disbelief.

The other point is that it must be very difficult indeed to take
part in a British (or Australian) group, while having no concept
of their humour. In all probabiluty, Arny could not see that I
was pulling his chain re Roland/Bosendorfer/Walmart. Over on
the Oz group, they had him running round in circles, and on RAO
the excellent (and *very* English) John Atkinson, eloquent,
intellectual, talented producer, fine musician, skilled engineer,
respected journalist and magazine editor, had Arny changing
between dunce and clown cap with remarkable rapidity.

Arny has taken exception to amost everyone whom I hold in
high regard appearing on the groups to which he has access,
so I am flattered to be on his list:-) Jenn Martin is a very good
example - teacher, composer, arranger, musician, charming
lady and very capable sound recordist (in a very modest and
endearing way:-) Arny's exchanges with her make interesting
reading.

Almost all of the recording industry 'lantern swinging' (memoirs) we see
here goes over my head but I do find quite a lot of it quite interesting.


The "good old days" were in many ways more eventful and interesting.
There were far more "characters" in the business than there are now,
and you found yourself flying by the seat of your pants much more
so than you do these days. Digital techniques, editing in particular,
have made things quicker and much easier. I still keep a 2"
analogue tape editing block on my desk to remind me:-)
