Popular Post Foggie Posted November 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2018 Attach whatever name, classifications you want and then dissect it to ad nauseam. Which then will then put everyone into their respective silos, with name calling etc.. Its not hard folks ? and at a minimum I would think most are after the same end result. Who the (*%$ cares how you get there. it means something different to each. daverich4, accwai, Teresa and 1 other 2 1 1 My rig Link to comment

If we got rid of names, classifications, and analyses, wouldn't that make everything foggie ? p.s.: Seriously, thanks for this interesting and challenging post. If someone were to write an article called "Crushing the Categories" for this forum, I wonder what would be up for destruction (or, more positively, bursting free of or breaking through)) and how it would be done. I also wonder if it is practically possible. To address the OP. I've never fit in this dichotomy so it is a little difficult to fully comprehend. But it does at least seem to apply to the experience of others so I want to respect that. Well I think my response was in the context that I've seen so many posts in this light, its just another spin. Kinda a rabbit hole, but meant no disrespect to the OP. I will say that ever since I was young (teens), I could never deal with a "stock" sound in so far as trying to make whatever and wherever I was listening - to make it better. Nobody I knew EVER did this. Weird, since I had no concept of "proper" sound. Being a musician (drums), I found it hard, actually very difficult to play (enjoying it, emotion etc..) if the kit sounded like ass (growing up). I had to move the kit around (unmic'd) til I could get something passable. Mic'd is different, but the general concept was always there for me, so "audiophile" - whatever that is/means to each, wasn't even remotely in my vocabulary much less something I knew about. I think that's why acoustics is so interesting to me. When I purchased a holy grail of snares years ago (20's black beauty $$) I was so freaking blown away by its sound, nothing and I mean nothing came close, it was a revelation. But I digress.... I guess this "thing" (sound) that drives us each individually can be so vastly different its hard to communicate to others that don't see it in the same light - you get it or you don't so to speak. Being I have only been in this specific hobby for about 5yrs, I guess I can see where my tendencies came from => they're built in, its DNA and I have no real choice in the matter. christopher3393 and fas42 1 1 My rig Link to comment
