hardware vs software.

whatever suits your wallet and working space... this is an arguement that'll go on forever but the most common answer is pick the best of both worlds.
Seriously someone please lock this before i go mentally off the scale, not the hardware vs software thing AGAIN!!!!!!!!
:shock: :headache: :bash: :bash: :bash: :protest: :stop: :help: :help: :evil: :mashed: :wtf: :bash:
but that doesn't answer his question.. lets get into the WHOLE thing again! :twisted:
he should do a search, in 3 years on this board this topic has come up an unbelievable amount of times
not very constructive comment to help somebody who has not the experience, and who dare ask the people for guidance. can we be positive please.Quote:

try the production forum.. you'll get a much better response in there. but like eyeswithoutaface said, use the search option because the hardware/software thing has been done to death.
this should be in the techno production forums
hey maybe i buy a book if people are hostile. things are very different here
where is the passion?
software is the (relatively) easier and (certainly) more cost effective route. try reason or something obvious and see if the shoe fits in general. later you can make a call re. hardware if you personally decide it's something you want to move into.
its been beaten out of us by years of 909 abuse :cry:Quote:

It basically boils down to research. We've all had to do it so will you. There's none of this "not had the experience and dare ask for guidance" rubbish, we've all been at the stage of starting out, but you were'nt asking for guidance. You were instigating the age old hardware/software debate. Which has been done on here hundreds of times. Quite literaly aswell.
If your new then surely its good for yourself to take a minute and check what forums are for what, i know its certainly what i do whenever i join a new board
No need to knock the new guy Scott.
We were all at his point at one time or the other, and since he has been here he has sparked many an intelligent response.
More so than many of us, I say we nuture his curiosity with intelligible conversation and keep a new enthusiastic member aboard,
Welcome to the board primo. I choose software because it is easier manipulated. But there is something about hardwares analog sounds that is visceral and obvious in certain good techno. Play around with both find your niche. No one starts off Speedy J. Great Enthusiasm man!
i wanted to come study here more than other places becuse i am so excited by the uk techno. i thought the atmosphere would be so absorbing with a passion for the music, and i also was thinking that your scene would be much bigger, even i know it is underground
i have been amember of this forum for some time now,and have read your words since the summer, but now my english is getting better, i really wanted to talk with the peoples on the forum to find out more. maybe i should join a new board, and wish those who really deserve it the best wishes for your music. adios
ouch.
wasn't me!
come study here in Ireland, we love the hardware software debate!!!!!!!!!!!
stjohn. you wanna get together and do a track?
no one bashed him get over it people ****in hell you girls ;)
everyones sitting there thinking "oh **** not the hardware vs software thing again" its just im the only one who doesnt give a toss enough to say "hey, have a little dig around too new guy" because that will help him ultimately ALOT more than this singular thread is going to! the guy wants knowledge, he's sitting ontop of a massive, untapped (for him) wealth about hardware and software, i was just bluntly telling him how to go about it. Think about it guys.
its not about what "level" anyones at. It's about just doing a bit of digging around too as well as the questions
you smellQuote:

to answer the question...i think both are limiting, but both have particualr advantages. i use software now because of space issues.

kool. i've got a crack copy of winzip and a black&decker powersaw... we're sorted!
there's no fuss Slavik, god if you people think that's fuss then how do you manage in real life? ;)
ok ok ok, babies put your dummies back, here goes.... i have no preference, i like using software and i like using hardware, the only constraint for me is financially i cant afford hardware like i wish i could, so software it is. That's not to say i dont pay for my software, if im using something that's going into a record then its paid for these days
you still smellQuote:

you all have cooties
Please stick around.Quote:

but to answer your question, use what you feel is best for you, experiment, try things out, and what ever you enjoy the most, or feel most comfortable wth, use it.
now who's gonna buy me some toffee ?
consider it done batfink!
we just have come back from the pub with my girlfriends to show them how it is here.
dont make war, make music! and i have thought to use hardware and software just to try and stop you guys from the argue. in my home town by now you would hear sounds from automatic weapons, but now we are going to the bed to make love :love:
thanks :cool: :lol:Quote:
