Glad to hear it!
Why not add your myspace page to your signature, then it will appear every time you post a message.

Sorry Ezekial....
If you are claiming to be an all rounder for work in this business (as you are), you HAVE to be seriously up on the technical side and you can't make excuses.
Ideally as well, you should also be able to read music or at least be able to follow a score ... or at least a chord sheet. Do you know what an E minor over a B followed by a C9 means ... and could you play it? No? Ooops!
Can you solder your own cables? Do you know the difference between balanced and unbalanced cables? Would you know when to use which?
Do you know how to mic up a drum kit or a piano? Do you know which mic is best for recording electric guitar and where to place it? Similarly for acoustic guitar ... or bass? Or a violin or a string or brass section?
Could you handle a production budget and deliver on time, hiring the right session musicians and work with an arranger on their parts? Or could you arrange parts yourself and hand them out to the musicians? Could you work with an engineer to achieve the sound you want ... or do it yourself?
"Luv da music" all you want but until you can do the above, you're selling something you're not.... unless all you're interested in is some 'beatz' in Fruity Loops!
I'm sorry if I sound a bit brutal but you are making extravagant claims on your MySpace profile (as are millions of others). You have bombarded this place with links to your MySpace profile for us to listen to and I, for one, am underwhelmed by the content. You are going to have to up your game enormously to meet the claims you make there.
That said, I am glad you have seen the errors of your ways here. By all means (as suggested) include your MySpace link in your signature so that we can visit if we choose but don't ram it down our throats.
And I only say the above so that you may get some perspective and maybe learn from some experience.
Steve

Not cracking on Ezekial or anything but lol at fruity loops. I think it's both hilarious and sad when people throw together stuff in fruity loops or garage band and then try to act like they run a studio.
If you play in a band at church just say you're a musician. It's no less respectable than saying you're this great studio technician. Perhaps you work in a studio then you may claim you're a studio musician which could be looked at as a step up. But it certainly doesn't qualify a person as an engineer.
I actually own a studio but I don't front like I'm some big producer. There are thousands and thousands of people as equally amateurish basement studio types as you and me so no one is going to be that impressed... especially around here in this forum.
There are actually important successful and very helpful people on here so wasting people's time here with boasting without any contribution or sincere inquiry is going to win you at least a small bit of flaming. Don't be that person. It's a small community here and everyone is here to help each other out.
Unless provoked, I don't think anyone is here for an egotistical agenda and this isn't the place that you're going to make it to the big time. If you have actually made something with your Fusion then let us hear it, but there is a place for that.

You're giving Christians a bad name and rep.
First you come here and you want to get pirated sounds. Which I'm sure you know are illegal.
Then you continue with an annoying online persona, posting your myspace like a noob who discovered the internet yesterday.
And you finish it off by calling yourself something you're not - an all-around musical personality - when in truth you sound like someone who's just getting started and should pay attention to others who know their stuff, and learn from them.
I'm sure you don't mean harm, but you should really think about this.
