I failed to mention Stratboy too. Sorry! I just looked back and he's probably given more ban anyone else - so THANK YOU, stratboy!

I also failed to take into account the t-shirt sales too...so, thanks to everyone for participating.

New topics are important too. Without new ground being broken in the industry, there can be a lot less to talk about. If I come up with an interesting thought, I'll make a thread. But I try to keep it so I'm not creating a thread for every thought that pops in. Funny you say that whenever I make a new thread I would say 80 % go un answered so I kinda just stopped making new threads ... I have only made prob 3 or 4 though to be honest.

Hi friends,joining RGO in an attempt to decipher an acronym used in THIS thread has been truly awesome. You should PM the user. It was a little off base rabbit trail, so I don't think anyone really took notice. Sometimes posts get missed when 3 people post during the same time you are writing your post. You have made me curious now.

Indeed. Everyone thinks they are "high end" regardless of what gear they use. A band was in the studio the other day.. They loved the mixes, but then told me they wanted to master them to take them to the next level. I asked them what they meant by that.. Which turned into a big discussion on what mastering meant. It turns out they didn't actually know what they wanted from "mastering", but had always read in forums that mastering was just something you did, that knowledgeable people online always said they mastered their songs. So these guys knew a mastering engineer who would master their songs for 20$ a piece.. With Ozone and some other plugs that he used at school. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Then we contacted the mastering engineer to ask a handful of questions, and then he was miffed and defensive that we were questioning his work and his setup, which wasn't even his. These are the same guys who were so impressed by the sound of my overhead mics, that they asked me if they were Samson brand, because he read on a forum that Samson brand was good.. and high end. I'd rather choose to use a service like landr (https://www.landr.com/en) than leaving my music to some random college kid asking for $20 a piece for what they consider to be mastering. BTW I really like the concept of landr utilising a BD analysis as part of their algo. It may not be there yet but given the rate of advancement in machine learning, AI, and its associated subfield of computer science I expect that automated process like landr will get closer and closer to what human mastering engineers can do (although it may be as flexible as human engineers..yet). Hi, KJ If you are still hanging around here, can you elaborate on what you meant by "BD analysis?"

Hi friends,joining RGO in an attempt to decipher an acronym used in THIS thread has been truly awesome. I just posted KJ's post as a quote, because when you quote someone, they get an email (if they have notifications on). So we will see if he replies. I also did some searching on BD analysis and Landr. Came up with zero, nada, nothing. So KJ is our only hope. I also thought it was hilarious that you revived a 2 year old thread with a specific question about BD analysis, and we all picked up the conversation as if it had ended fifteen minutes ago, got into all kinds of interesting stuff and kept right on going, without answering the question or saying, Welcome to the wonderful, hyperfocused world of RGO, Robert! Not rude, just passionate 8)

I'm just an old electric guitar player who's 1st experience with a computer/net/digital recording etc,was in 2011. I'm also a new member here,so I do realize this quote comes from a 2 plus year old thread,but I'm very intrigued by what is meant with the acronym BD? as in "I really like the concept of landr utilising a BD analysis as part of their algo"(obviously algorithm). Sonar x3 I think included a basic version of landr,which I thought was ok,though I thought it made some of my stuff become too bright,also cakewalk forum members generally didn't give it a lot of praise,and I'm not sure, but I don't think Sonar Platinum includes landr anymore,which I think is a bit of a loss,as I'm sure it has become far improved perhaps. Really I just wanted to know what BD analysis is,in the context of KJ's post? Thank You RK Robert's post that revived this thread.

I know matt has been fantastic - he's been pretty much the only member that has been a frequent contributor Thanks, JK, it is USD well-spent. I set up a monthly contribution via PayPal quite a while ago. It's automatic, and painless. I ask everyone to consider: what is a community like RGO worth to you? Surely, somewhere north of nothing. Participation through posting is great, and obviously the main way to keep RGO alive and well, but there's more to it than that. I happen to believe in the old adage "Put your money where your mouth is". Hell, I don't even post that often, but RGO is important to me, and I consider all of you my friends. It is my sincere wish that I get a chance to meet some of you some day to commiserate and perhaps consume a few adult beverages. Maybe play a little music and tell a few tall tales. Us Western Americans are known talkers and can lie with the best of them. Is it time to schedule another RGO gathering?

Agreed 100%. No need to be all things to all people. I don't post a whole lot here on RGO but I absolutely prefer RGO to GS. I know I've been guilty of getting sucked into bullshit on GS. I like it here way better. There is a general congeniality here that I like. I would have to think that expanding membership could diminish that. Maybe make it like Wikipedia with voluntary contributions. I would happily pony up a little bit to keep it small and NOT compromised. Well. Just to let you all know, the donate button has been there since 2013...and I don't I've received more than $200. Hey John, you're way too nice. There are many people like me who just need an occasional kick in the ass to donate. I mean I've always meant to, just never got around to it. I think you need to just hit everyone up periodically to donate some money. Asking for money is always awkward (at least it is for me) but many of us would gladly give a little, we just need to be pushed a little : ) BTW, just donated

It's funny to pop in and see an old post resurrected...How are you guys doing? I lost my gearlust and decided to become an artist again and enjoying music again.

$3 make sense. It's kinda like getting a Sound On Sound subscription, only interactive with some great people. I just think it would kill the board honestly... WTF I read that RGO users buy gear for thousands of dollars a year and a forum where they get help and asnwers is not worth 12 bucks per year. I say you are wrong, paying something makes it the special palce for the pros and enthusiasts. Money is like a membership card. If its worth nothing to you cant belong to the people who discuss AE proboems. I would be finde with a dollar a month. And it works flawless with paypal.

It might also be the way to attract more big names to the board. They can be more comfortable knowing there's a paywall filtering out the trolls.

Alternately, you could create a VIP subform accessible only to contributing members, and charge $20/year or similar for access. I've seen that work on other forums in the past...sort of a way to reward contribution towards running the forum. Add custom flair for contributors as a way to gamify contributorship as well.

I've always advocated a small subscription fee to keep this place alive and idiot-free. But I can see John's point. Still, we all can donate voluntarily. Every little bit helps.

Take a look a the Webmaster World forums and the way they describe and promote the private sub forum. I think that's the way it should be done.
