    On the other hand, a bad musician just might be a good engineer!

    A popular saying among software coders:

    "Garbage In....Garbage Out."

    And a popular saying among REAL audio engineers:

    "You can't fix it in the mix."

    but you can slow it down or filter it out and cut out parts and reverse others. and...
    I guess that's a bit more than mixing.

    Real music only exists in the musician's mind. Everything else is capitalism.

    Bad musicians need to either become a good musician or quit. ;-) They need an act of God, not an engineer.

    The world doesn't need another average song.

    I'm a half-assed musician and a half decent engineer.
    Retiring soon from my day job to work on both.
    So much to learn, but I'll have so much time :)
