Forum Idea

[shwoz]

I say that we start a recording section in the forum.
there seems to be a growing interest in the subject.
also maybe we could get trev from circle studio to do a quick write up on the basic things about recording.
what does everyone think?

I'd actually go one step further.  Howsa bout a main section for Technology, with Recording and Software as subsections?

[shwoz]

yah there we go thats a more open idea

[Nate Brown]

Not a bad idea!  Will think about it.

Anyone else have any thoughts about it?

I like it. If we were going to have a technology section, i would add a section about E-Kits, i've noticed they've been coming up alot lately 

[Ra Bones]

I would not treat edrums separately from acoustic drums (because then people who want to post something would have to make an either-or choice that may not really apply).  But certainly some aspects of electronic drums fit under the electronics hardware or software subsections.

i think some sort of technology section would be good. especially seeing as how we dont really have a specific section for it already besides drumming equipment which is pretty general.

[Ra Bones]

... drumming equipment which is pretty general.

Yes, exactly.  I don't consider 'technology' to include tension rods, wing nuts, pedal chains, and spurs.  Instead, I think of mixers, microphones, sampling pads, lasers, and Audacity.

That said, I would not want someone who is trying to post a question to have to spend more than 10 seconds figuring out which subsection to use.

It would probably be best to start with "electronics" and if the need arises, create more subsections, we don't want to overclassify everything. just an idea.

[RangerX92]

yea i personally believe we should have recording and e-drums. just my opinion. this place is great as it is but i think at least one more section couldnt hurt.

electronics is actually a less open topic area because i dont classify mics as an eletronic device (dont ask y its just my weird logic)
like it is nt only about drum technology either because people here often talk about other stuff too.
