    Ty,

    Thanks for weighing in. I apologize for turning this into something larger than just another run-of-the-mill post on CC.

    I understand that everyone was simply trying to be helpful, and that’s clear to me.

    Often, writing fails to capture an expression of tone and it’s possible to mis-interpret it. I’ll give everyone the benefit of the doubt and say that I have done that.

    I re-read the thread and realize that in the first post I never asked specifically for an equipment recommendation and that’s my error. It was in the third post, my reply to Richard, where I asked, “Which is a better solution, do you think? What kind of mixer should I spec?” did I get to a specific question.

    In the first post I said that, “I’m not principally an audio guy,” which is accurate, but could suggest to the reader that I know absolutely nothing about sound recording, editing, mixing, etc. So, I’m aware that I set a precedent in the readers’ minds. Again, my error.

    I took the suggestions seriously (Noah, thank you for the referral, I will definitely follow up with Iris or Veronica) and disagreed with the delivery.

    Maybe I’m being hyper-sensitive here and if so, again I apologize. Everyone has their individual style of expression; over in the engineering and integration forums, Bob Zelin is not exactly known for his gentle approach, but he’s upfront about his direct delivery.

    Ty, you’ve asked me what you could do better. I want you to know that I’ve been thinking about this thread for the past several days; it’s been on my mind. What I’ve concluded is that I could have done a much better job asking the questions than I did.

    So, I’ll take the responsibility off of the shoulders of those who replied and put it on mine. Given what I requested and how I expressed myself, I’m solely accountable for the results. It’s incumbent upon me to post with greater care.

    Thank you one and all, once again.

    Sincerely,

    Michael Cowan
