How right you are S-G. Anyway, another enjoyable p****** contest, been a couple here lately.

Hey, and wasn't it only a few days ago we were all leading the crowd with 'Auld Lang Syne'?

Folks, I hope you'll allow an observation from the old "Communications Professor".

We're in a very competitive business. If we were all in the same town, we'd be competing against each other. To succeed in this business each of us has to be confident, competent and act on our beliefs.

Sometimes that competitive nature puts a hard edge on written communications.

Confidence sometines is interpreted as cockiness, and, at least on this forum, I firmly believe that is simply a product
of the communications channel, and not necessarily a reflection of reality.

We rely on others and value the interperonal relationships or we wouldn't be here.

And, a little attitude sometimes keeps the blood flowing.

To avoid hurt feelings and resentment, we just need to consider the impact as well as the content of our communication.

Best personal regards to ALL of you!

Wise words captain!

Realworld 'hands on ' experience with particular arranger/+ related gear(eg.PA) and day/night gig
reports make this forum fresh.the best arranger forum in English.

some of the new comers (not specific
to SG ),can have the attitute if they have the experience with particular gear for resonable time.then the other side can't do much.

I've seen UD and Scott Yee fight and most of the time, Scott will beat UD with his polite and effective words(also the experience for the particular thing too).it's just an example.
UD in other hand will give you good advice (according to his experience)to anybody(new or old)when ever a question is asked .like UD, Gary will bring up with good psr 2k,3k how to info, how to loose 40lbs in a month ,how to make cost effective stands for logitech,Scott(yee) will bring interesting OT subjects like(what if---happens?),fran(will fight /or pretend to fight and say "Roland is the best"-"exr5 beats pa1x,tyros" ,others Don M,,DNJ,the pro,etc who are regulars here and post almost everyday.so most of the visitors know them (Another reason they have "WEB SITES")even if they like thier music or not."WEB SITES".yes,at least people don't feel bad about their credibility of their posts.


I love all forum members.

Old members here can give you good advice on one man band/arranger relative experiences(gear,sources of free files,some PA,audience responces etc) playing western music(esply people who are doing same thing for long).(eg-tyros,em2000,VAs,g1000,most yams,9k,2k,2100,3k for now_).
if you want more about ketron,solton,korgs and (also rolands) it's better to check EU (including UK)arranger or even better mid east arranger forums(since arragers are THE bands in most areas than US.We still have band thing going here in most live bars compared to EU and mid east).

this is the best arranger forum yet.No BS like goggle/yahoo search,copy ,paste advices/reviews like Harmony Central(most forums) or alikes.

again this is the arranger forum(and the only active and solid one in english with good postings).not the piano or synth forum(though we discuss about them too).so if people don't feel that the advice here is not enough for band music with your Moog ,you should be looking somewhere else.
also having session pro experience in (eg.a ska/punk rock band like No doubt-though they may sell in millions)for 5 years or so will get less relative respect than a classic piano player in an orchestra or ,Chick Corea's or Frank Gamble's main man according to music that most of the members make-jazz or standards.Sad but true music catagory does matter in long term.Degree of professionalism(and what is "a real pro" question- according to non musicians and musicians will be always different.

so my word for synth guy or all new/re comers "stay and contribute".

who ever play an arranger will be addicted to this forum.

peace.

One thing we all need to keep in mind when we see a junior member is that a new post by such a member does not mean that that person is new to music, performance, “arranger” keyboards, and other equipment or gigging. It does not even mean that that person is new to the forum culture. They could have been lurking around this forum for years.

SG, Thanks for reading and replying. If I was wrong, I owe you one for not reading properly. My apologies.
