Anyone other then a poser ought to be able to say someting without saying how "they would not make it" if they already have announced they are set on themselves with what they do.
I am obviously not out to be someone's prodigy here.

Not sure I understand any of that All I know is one day I'm in a completely click free session, the next day it's click on, I ALWAYS play live when recording even the drum set. So i understand all about live expression.

What Jim said was very on the money, I am talking more in general but did not start my first reply to you that way. I said "you" had timing issues. I already have explained in the past in detail what you could try to do.

What your doing from what I can see, and what I have seen many times before with others, is making excuses. It's cool that you see and understand you have timing issues. But instead of doing something about it you talk about other things and drift way off the subject

Some guys come here to the studio and they "talk all about music" They KNOW alot.. Then when it comes time to record and work, they struggle badly and then do even more talking about all kinds of things accept that they ain't nailing there part!

"I usually use these kinds of strings but" "I play the drums in perfect time with my band but now" "I sing great at gig's people love it so how can i be out of key"

Music is very expressive and we can see & hear things from different points of view, but playing out of tune, being out of time, singing out of key, forcing bad rhymes, etc.. and other things aren't things that help you professionally in the field of music. Unless it's specific and accpted to a genre or some scene.

If you are making music for your own self enjoyment then that is great. And focusing on anything but fun and expression is a waste of time and a downer.

People play softball sometimes and do that. But when a professional or semi pro or even a kid who's decent at little league steps into the batters box he DEVELOPS timing.
Other wise he can't hit the ball. No fun in that

I have often found many others to generalize and see things one way, where I am ALWAYS bringing up several aspects. So much so that it hurts me professionally and in life in general.
