Post Subject: Teaching can mean different thingsPosted by SearcherOfBetterSound on: 6/8/2007
It's not just about order. You don't do it because you or others are obsessed with the advanced aspects of audio..perhaps so much, that we forget about the basics and the possibility of categorization that's simpler. Nothing will be perfect, I sure as hell don't remember some of school teachings, but if you're interested enough, you can take something out of something. If no one else did something in a field or even got the idea spread, you sure wouldn't have much to experience, but to develop the basics on your own FIRST...barely anyone can just invent something or do it again on there own, let alone figuring out reasonably how to put up an entire reasonable audio chain..you'd have to figure out how and what goes on with equipment BY YOURSELF. I guess what I'm saying is that a portal to understanding should be shared, not necessarily like teaching math and everything has to be perfect (it can't be anyway, but a sort of simulation in areas would be best), no, a simple ENTRANCE to something, that's more balanced than just paying attention to an advertisement or product recommendation..think about the "NORMAL" PUBLIC and their iPods, they're not going to understand anything you're saying because they don't even know what amps are!..and you'll still always have to figure out at least some things for yourself no matter what. Your perfectionism is making you not realize that many important aspects can be reasonably mentioned in a collection of words as long as there's some psychological aspects discussed and telling others to rely on an appropriate balance of theirs and others experience. I'm not entirely sure what you're meaning but it seems like unless you talk to a specialty group only involving your friends and those you trust, your wasting all you effort and time..but even if that's true, read the third sentence from the top. Even high-endaudio.com tries a bit of this teaching and tries to help others product wise..but EVEN THEN, the guy behind it doesn't get into the basics as much as he could.. Are you afraid of being criticized since teaching involves more research-paper-like sureness or too simple stuff that you think makes you seem childish, like a the bigger or simpler it is, the harder you fall sort of thing? nah, read the second sentence above.
Obviously you're not interested in it, and I don't think you're capable of it or many others really, but it really doesn't matter. My thought could be said to be more general too, besides just based on specific people. I've already tried teaching, but it took me like a year to actually really start understanding what I was dealing with...but, now I'd say I've said stuff that can really help and be expanded into more greatness..Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
