About “online reviews” or how to read, hear and believe

Motto:
“Don’t trust what you read. Hear for yourself.
Don’t trust what you hear. See for yourself.”

Online training – Alan Parsons “The Art and Science of Sound Recording”

Alan Parsons

Alan Parsons(Thank you Jimmy, I hope You'll get all that money)

Mr. Alan Parsons is already history.

History as in making-history-man.

The guy happened to work on Abbey Road Studios when this place was the music technology avant-garde with all that stereo weird thingy and tape untraditional installations.

At this moment there are three DVD’s available for streaming ($1.99 per chapter) or download ($ 4.99 per chapter). Not much, but… what’s inside? Read more…

Online training – “Khaliq Glover aka Khaliq-O-Vision”

If you will ever hit Mister’s Khaliq websites (eqsecretes and so on), don’t lose too much time (or money).

This guy’s “webinars” are kind of shoe selling (long) hours. All you’ll here is “you will get free from me the secret of life” and, from time to time, his friends “wassss’uuuuup” moments 🙂
This is all you’ll find out about music.

I have no idea how this guy got a Grammy, but I imagine he is preparing a very god coffee.
