I've gotta say, this section of the forum is spot-on for people just starting out like me as there's loads to read, some interesting stuff to be found, and people are helpfull!
Think I'll enjoy my stay here, be prepared for me asking alot of 'basic' questions tho, this production malarky is a steep learning curve for me! Everyone's got to start somewhere tho!
Don`t worry man, ask away, that`s why this place is hear.
And it`s also surprisingly open in here, you`ll not find info like this on many forums, I love it.

Although all tricks and advice are just guides and pointers, the real lessons come with experience and experimentation.

turn all the knobs and move all the sliders (oo er) and have fun!!
