I can assure you that a lot of folks in this thread want to hear the pluses and minuses on any given issue related to AHL. Including yours truly so please don't censor yourself. I tend to get very effusive on the mechanics of mixing by The King because I also DIY and I understand first hand how much talent it takes to create truly outstanding mixes since a great many of my own creations are only suitable for cleaning your tires or your windows /lol On the other hand, if you went back to 10/13 when I first arrived "in the cult" I was VERY critical of closing a friggin web site for two weeks for changes and I didn't mince words. As time marches on, I've managed to wrap my grey matter around exactly how AHL does business and what The King is trying to accomplish.
After all, if the goal of this thread is to help folks obtain the best results and experiences from AHL, then that normally involves some help and or discussions about the pluses and minuses, like any other business on planet earth or mars. Admittedly, a delicate balance at times when you are trying to keep the "Fan Boy" factor at an absolute minimum along with avoiding specious and or ill founded "connecting the dots" theories which don't hold up to rational scrutiny.
