Outrageous errors in top audio advice

[@eddiewillers1]

I don't recall LEDs or meters when setting up mixing desks in the early 80's. We used to crank the output slider to 80% then adjust the input gain until the distortion was just about evident, then back the gain off a notch - seemed to work well enough.

I would never expect the top result to be the best because the search engine cant possibly know all of the nuances of what I want to find from the search criteria I provided

Insert brickwall limiter at 0 dBfs when tracking.

I learned it the hard way. Red means dead.Too much gain is too much pain.

You must admit that the great benefit of social media including KZbin is that someone can become an expert without having to go through the arduous process of learning their craft over many years in the industry, and without having to spend years reading and learning. Yes, that is sarcasm.

Now You Know. [extra nerd points if you know which KZbin channel [NOT musically related] that refers to. ]

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

@@musicalneptunian There are so many ill informed KZbin channels. To be fair, there’s many fantastic ones too. Just be discriminating and seek out the knowledgeable ones. There’s also countless annoying ones. The Cheap Audio Man annoys me, click bait titles and a slow rambling presentation. He may be knowledgeable, I have no idea, but he is a snooze fest.

First of all, I value the information from the people making the gear, not the opinionated tALKING HEADS online. I bought the Polyend Tracker, had a question and asked Sweetwater ,not KZbin. KZbin is rampant with experts who make nothing, just giving ideas based on opinions, preferences, their so called tests, and maybe journals. What works for expert#37 or expert #87 might not work for me, yet i can listen to both of them, and decide for myself. I had it out with several 'experts', and like I told them, you cannot TELL me what other people want, need, nor like, just like you cannot coerce/bully anyone to buy one car over another because you read Consumer Reports.

Search for two words, maybe not commmenly connected. And you will get websites that only contain one of them..... Frustration.
