None taken.
I don’t disagree that precautions should be taken when working in a noisy environment. However when I work with musicians, I treat them differently with respect to considering their livelihood.
I would never tell any musician to stop doing what they do. They will generally ignore the person who says that. Instead I do my best to understand their needs and give them what they want, so that they can continue doing what they do, safely.
In this case, HonkyTonkJohn is using an instrument which is preventing him from working. Plain and simple. I don’t believe he really cares about the technicality of the instrument. Based on his question, I read between the lines and I gave him a working, tested and result oriented answer. Hopefully he can find someone who knows how to work with a musician, and set his equipment up the way he needs.
Hopefully now, HonkyTonkJohn should be able to get back to work! LOL
Cheers!
