[decay-o-caster]

Music sucks. Guitars suck. Amps suck.

Recording sucks. Listening to playback and having your nose rubbed in how bad you suck sucks.

I suck. :(

I like your attitude!

We're looking for a new engineer at the studio - interested?

Getting to hear how much you suck before anyone else does ......... Priceless.

[stratofied]

Reality check 101. ;)

[MattB]

I hear ya, loud and clear.

[Scott Peterson]

It isn't about the suck, it is about the level of suck. :D

And don't forget the killer of all things suck, the almighty "overdub".

Ahhh.

[Hackubus]

I never was very good at overdubs. I did however excel in "overflubs".

[Bryan T]

Don't forget that when you do finally manage to capture a recording of you not sucking, you are almost assuredly going to capture some yo-yo's 10,000 watt car stereo as they drive by listening to Eminem.

DK,
The thing about recording is that:

1. If neccessary only about four people may hear it.
2. Do it again.

If you're talking about the actual process go analogue, it's more forgiving.

Best, Pete.

Do you have the "suck button" on or off?

Evidently it's taped down!

Some suckage is so bad even overdubs can't help.

Back to it tonight. Then I burn all my gear when I'm done sucking some more.

[tonefreak]

Please don't burn your gear... give it to me!

Seriously, we all have bad days... keeps us in check!

[LSchefman]

My suckage is so bad, that I know for a fact that I am the least-talented human being on Earth.


Please don't tell my clients. :)

I suck. :(

"this, too, you know shall pass" - me ;)

so, uh, something went awry between 3 a.m. (when it was good) and 10:30 p.m. (when something was ungood)? oh, well, you'll get it, no fears.

btw, who was doing the in-rubbing? :D

:cool:

[justicetones]

Ah yes the feeling of suckness. I think we are all there from time to time.

Isn't that why ProTools became the industry mainstay now. :) :dude .

I have a very large suck knob so that when I use it my ego loves turning a really big knob. The cooler the suck knob the better the gear sounds when you turn it. :dude

[Unburst]

Well, the first step to solving a problem is admitting you have a problem.
:D

Recording is the single most effective tool in improving your playing imo.

"Hi, my name's David and I suck."

"Hi David" "Hey" "Welcome, David"

[Stevo57]

David, if you just buy one more amp and guitar and call them the "recording" amp and guitar, I'm sure everything will be OK.
Turn this negative into positive my boy!

Yours truly,
The Enabler

I'm going to tell them. Then steal them. :D

[zenpicker]

What is that great sucking sound, anyway?

From maelstroms to black holes, whirlpools make compelling images. A powerful force draws all around it into a singularity. The swirling disk of motion masks the nature of its peril until it is too late, paradoxically increasing in force as it pulls in more victims.

And what's more....

The Great Huge Sucking Sound

I've told it to others. I repeat it to myself all the time. I know it in my bones --

First drafts are supposed to suck. You have to get something on the page and then you can edit it.

But man, does my first draft of this book suck. I mean it's just so disheartening.

Could mass sucky artistic hysteria be far off? WE ARE NOT ALONE...........:Spank

Analyze, then modify. Sucking always begins and ends somewhere.

[rkstarr]

where they though i was the reincarnated guitar budda(no pun intended cause i own 2 budda wahs)...:)

[jcground]

if you just buy one more amp and guitar...

Waugh!! My philosophy for overcoming musical inadequacy laid bare.

Don't let it get you down. When I was recording a lot, I did get better. Recording and playing with other people are the two best ways to have fun and improve at the same time, but they're also like golf. It's easy to get frustrated during the process.

I handle it by telling myself "It's only a demo, you'll do the REAL VERSION next week/month/year/lifetime..."

...and then sweat it our when I'm recording for clients :eek:
