calling all producers-hardware vs software

[el salvador]

hardware vs software.
which way you guys think is right way to start the studio. of course i must have the computer, but which work best to make the correct sounding music :?:

[rhythmtech]

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!!!!!!!!

:bash: :bash: :bash: :mashed: :bash:

[rhythmtech]

but that doesn't answer his question.. lets get into the WHOLE thing again!

[eyeswithoutaface]

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.
i am a student from overseas who like to dj and am classically trained in guitar.

[rhythmtech]

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

[el salvador]

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.

where is the passion?

its been beaten out of us by years of 909 abuse :cry:

its not that people are hostile, its just that this topic has been discussed and argued many times.....its more of a preference between the two, you'll basically have to try both worlds in order to find out which you like best ;)

[eyeswithoutaface]

where is the passion? what? it's got nothing to do with passion, the fact that pretty much all the core users on here are actively making and putting their music out is passion enough.

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

[rhythmtech]
