Women in Technology

Hello! What you're doing sucks! Gina was nice enough to actually state a clear opinion! I've been trying to put together a simple system without becoming a professional producer for over two years. This stuff is not my life and I don't want it to be. She graciously gave an opinion. She uses the stuff. She seems to have a good deal of experience. Do I need to buy the absolute best that cannot be impeached? No. I need to get a setup that is probably going to be moderately easy to learn to use with a reasonable amount of learning curve (I'm signed up for Pro Tools at my community college this summer). I don't need big arguments - I've seen article after article telling me I could choose this or that or that or that or that. Just *&%ing shoot me. I just wanted a decent opinion. Something that is reasonable, will work, that a qualified user is happy with, won't break the bank and that I won't regret having bought one year later. Thank you Gina for being willing to give your opinion. If the only proper way to right an article for the internet is to write in political speak, where you qualify every single sentence with "some people" or "in my opinion" then the article won't sound conversational, hence will not be easy to read, ergo will turn the reader off. Any good writer knows that conversational is best. There's no reason to attack the woman for being willing to give an opinion. Where's your concise list of what you consider to be a really good, moderately priced setup that you currently use and can vouch for? I really would like to see it, maybe I'd go for it instead. But you didn't take the time to put the article together did you? Yes, Gina does this for a living and is writing a book. But believe me - there is an audience out there that just wants a qualified person's best opinion and doesn't need to get into all the arguments - there are millions of us out here who don't want to spend all our personal time learning about computers, home producing and recording and studio recording softwares - we just want to finally make our demo recording.
