ya, it's funny reading boards where more "traditional" music people post. they jump up and down saying that the composer should just worry about composing, the performer performing, the recording/mixing engineer recording and mixing, and the mastering engineer mastering, and that if you try to do more than one of these tasks you are doomed to mediocrity.

and here we are, doing all of those jobs ourselves, and often running labels or promoting shows on top of it.
