Rough day hugh?
I just wanted to give you a little advice. This forum is a VERY useful place that people mostly gather to seek help and give advice. You will find the entire gamete here. People just starting out like yourself and those who have been at it for way too many years. There are part timers and those who do this full time in all phases of audio from club to concert work, installation, design, manufacturing etc.
You will find that just about everyone here is willing to help and they understand the different levels of understanding of others on the board.
The one thing you DON'T want to do is to tick them off. They will not want to help you.
Something else you don't want to do is to try and impress others with your knowledge-or lack thereof as the case may be. Just be honest. A bad attitude will get you knocked down real quick-as you may have found out. This is not a a bitch type forum. We try to keep it professional here with a little joking around, just to keep it real
.
If you hang around and don't ask to many questions at a time, and are willing to do some research on your own and not have others just give you answers, you can learn quite a lot, AND have some fun and make some new friends. You have a long career in front of you, so you want to make as many friends as you can and keep the enemies to as few as possible. The pro audio community is a small one so you will likely run into others sooner or later, so keep it on a high note-you never know you will be working for.
