recording music, building gear and combating idiocy

This is my first post. The title explains what you should expect to find on this blog.

What do I mean by “combating idiocy?” Well, I chose that as the tagline partly because I thought it sounded obnoxious and funny, but also because we, as audio engineers, are continuously learning. The moment we stop learning is the moment we become irrelevant. And since we’re continuously learning, we’re also continuously making mistakes. So hopefully, by looking at the different aspects of what we do as engineers, we can minimize the number of idiotic mistakes we will inevitably make.

But really, I just thought it was funny.
