just a general hello to everyone.
I have just been modestly visiting tomb and think I'm going to make more of a habit of it. This is as good of place as any to say hello and give a little info about myself:
It took me 10 years of writing lyrics, melodies, learning guitar, and being a diligently practiced drummer to consider myself counted as a musician. I still feel like I'm tainting the list to add myself to it though. I've used a tons of computer world audio "equipment." and a moderate amount of tangible hardware in these past years as well. I'm in school for audio engineering at the moment and hope to be a sound engineer one day. As you can imagine, given the amount of know how it takes to record something at an expert level, I will probably never consider myself one. I'll see myself always on the path to becoming one. Which is good because an "I've arrived" mentality is sort of stupid when I think about it. But it is a bit discouraging to think about how low-level one can always consider himself to be amongst his peers.
My name is Jeffrey James. I'm 24 and I live in Minneapolis. Music means the world to me and I treat it with care. Expression is my passion, and because there are so many elements that are involved, it could be my only passion. I believe art is expression and creativity. To me, that very idea is at work in all aspects of life. When something is expressed in a way that everyone can understand, and the subject that your expressing is what you hold to be an overlooked truth, I think it can have a tremendous impact on the world at large. Art can change lives, it can show people the way out of difficult places, and it can bring people together as a community. I also think that music is definitely art (or at lest it should be).
So, I'll be the nosy kid asking stupid questions for a while. But I've got some strange areas of expertise as well so I hope to contribute where I can. I've never really been a big part of a message board - I usually use forums as a place to get questions answered, but I think that TOMB will be my first real attempt to give as much help as I receive (which might be a little unbalanced until I get some know-how under my belt. Thanks to all of you that have answered my questions and helped me out. I look forward to getting to know you guys and learning about the crazy world of sound.
