Are we Sound Engineer’s?

[Catcher10]

I think since our ears are trained to hear thru our systems with so many different color schemes, what we might hear in a studio would be skewed. I think I would need quite some time to let me ears understand the studio sound to make any comments.

But it would be a blast to try it!

I leave it to the pro's.

I'd probably be better then the engineers that record and master indie rock, music that I enjoy. Some of my artists sound ok in a car, and like annoyingly high bright pitched garbage when played back on an expensive rig.
Every upgrade I listen for does this make some of my favorite indie rock bands less bright? As I slowly upgrade there are many things to do to make music less bright, and they haven't screwed up better mastered albums.

However it would be a joke to think I'd be as good as a guy who records and mixes for a living and does ok at it. I'd be much better as an unpaid critic who advises indie rockers where they screwed up.

I was a sound engineer in the 80's & 90's. I did studio recording as well as live sound reinforcement. Believe me, it's not as easy as you might think. There is a lot more involved in the process than is apparent.
