Ahh, Colorstream... Heart, character, likability; those are all pretty subjective traits. And there are vagrants who have had experiences I couldn't dream about. The simple fact is that likability, character, and even biblical knowledge do NOT make you competent. And Tad is far from competent from a sound professional's standpoint. He has no legitimate knowledge in ANY of the areas about which he has posted. What would possess a grown man to publicly sound off on a topic about which he CLEARLY possesses no knowledge is beyond me. Those of you who are defending his competence obviously have no knowledge of the music industry whatsoever. This much I can say... Tad, you are REMARKABLY entertaining. But not in the way you'd hoped. I thought this was EXPERT Village...

Good dig on finding his myspace page- I listened to his songs, on NS-10s. As much much as he praises tube sound- his songs do not sound warm and tape like to me at all. I've spend some serious time tracking on a Studer A80, I know what tape sounds like. It's just not there. His music sounds like it was tracked on budget equipment- now if you tracked on budget equipment and it sounded fantastic, then praise would be due. As far as insulation goes, he misses the mark on decoupling studs, baffles, NTC of different materials, and resonate frequencies. Tad- again, you've missed the mark.

There is the tips, there is the easy way to do it, that is the smartest way, that is the best I could say. I want to thank you. Tad Donley, don’t forget the band Warrior. Have a good day.
