About synergy?

I'm really starting to hate that term, "synergy" as applied to audio. Misused subjectively. Prefer compatible and/or complimentary.

Amen!

None of the approaches you list are sufficient alone to assure good results.

Its all about the synergy and how each piece interacts as part of the whole to deliver the final results. Infinite ways to accomplish this. Never simple, unless you happen to get lucky. That's just the way it is if you are one that must achieve a particular sound.

Being smart about it and doing the homework needed to understand what you are doing is the one required element regardless of what final mix of stuff you end up with.

There are some design best practices that can be applied to help deliver optimal results faster, but that is a topic for another thread perhaps.

I guess if I read these post long enough, someone will actually use the word MUSIC in a response.

Rok2id, it seems that most of your posts are of a negative tone, and I was wondering why you even waste your time reading, and commenting on them? Seems to me that you would be better off just listening to your music instead of worrying what others are doing. I know that's what I'm about to do. I'm just tired of reading garbage posted by inexperienced fools, of which I may be one.
I'm done reading and posting in these forums now, so I guess I'll always wonder...

I want to thank everyone who may have helped me get to where I am with my system. It's been mostly fun.

Well don't leave on my account. Seriously. I'll go instead. After all, I am the interloper. It's a great site for some people, just not for me. But I am not an inexperienced fool. I have a lot of experience at being a fool.
