Yeah,apologies for the pissed up rant, the 8 cans of stella had something to do with it...
The point I'm trying to make here is the fact that software is so easily obtainable from the internet I personally feel that it has lead to a lack of commitment.. I have nothing against software, I just feel that what hardware can teach you has become seriously undervalued, and I personally think it's hard for someone to have a valid opinion on hardware when they have never used hardware..
I suppose as well I'm sick to the back teeth of getting demos that were blatently made with reason in the post that seemed very characterless, and this is the point... a few years ago, no two producers studio set up was the same, and this meant that the sound was also affected, and gave the artist another angle of individuality..
I have nothing against sofware having used Logic extensively in the past, I just like a hybrid of hardware and software, and I like to get demos in the post that have character...
Beer drinking hasn't been the same since the advent of aluminium, I feel that the developments in this field have made it a lot easier to be an alcoholic, back in the day... combination of both cans and traditional receptacles.Quote:

i totally agree on the use both conclusion. i'm glad we can let that one rest.
but another bit to thow in to the cost discussion, is that if you are careful about what hardware you buy, it will retain some resale value, so you can always sell it again if it didn't do the trick for you. but with software, it's more like an expense than an investment.
Yeah I sorta learned that lesson when I bought my ESX.
It was either that or the MPC1000, and I ended up going with the ESX due to price (~$150 cheaper or so) and I didn't need all the midi features of the MPC.
The bad part was that the ESX's resale value was absolute shit compared to the MPC.
I ended up being able to get rid of it for $500, including a 128mb memory card and multi-card reader. Total value I paid was $800. It was only a couple months old too... maybe 10 hours of use total.
The MPC on the other hand holds it's value very well.
:neutral:
hahahaha
spawned a bit of a beast here
nice suggestions tho, seems ill have 2 do sum thinking ;) ;)
ya, i ended up giving my electribe to a kid just starting out for free.Quote:
