Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell, this "Platinum Short Cuts" is basically a set of presets for things like Waves plug-ins, etc. Now, in any of the documentation for Waves or any other plug-ins, usually they'll recommend settings for certain applications, if there aren't a whole bunch of presets that are ALREADY available, included in the software. Also good to know is that any basic primer on compression and eq (found all over the internet) gives you general starting points for different applications. Meaning that in about 3 minutes, you could make your own presets and save them yourself.
If memory serves me correctly, you were charging something like $700.00 for your package. (or was it $70?- Doesn't matter) Then you came in with this line about thinking like a millionaire, what are non-professionals afraid of, blah blah blah.
Then you drop "tips" which I've seen repeated over and over again and are not these big secrets - yes, assigning your drums to a subgroup and compressing that group and then mixing to taste is useful, but anyone engineer will tell you that, it's a very common practice. But of course some of the people you are speaking to might not know since maybe they are more experienced on the MPC and less so with mixing, so you sound like the man - all the better for moving product.
I propose that selling these "Shortcutz" (either for $70 or $700) is the same as a mechanic charging you $500.00 for a repair that cost $5.00. Once you learn more about cars you'll realize this was a rip-off, but who cares - you already spent your money. And I don't buy any of this "fair market" ****. There's a difference between selling something at market value and blatantly ripping someone off.
My opinion is that you are a fairly good scam artist. Now if I'm getting the facts wrong, please correct me.
Didn't I allready start this a long time ago. It got nowhere. where were you then? jontakiff
But seriously Ron, why have you refused to answere my pm's ? not even a no comment or nothing. I thought you said we were cool? You talk about PM's, yet you dont answer? all you have to do is give me a yes or no. you dont have to snub me. I went out of my way to get that last thread completly erased for the benifit of your business and you preach about PM's when you dont even answere them. Its been two weeks since I sent you a proposition and you dont answere??? its obvious your in the forums. I just asked for a reply. please dont be a hipocrit. If you like the PM then ANSWERE people when they talk to you!!!!!!!
When you come to an online forum for love advice you know your a looser.
