its all bollox
this is soo true
talked to lennie dee once about old acid house recordings and he just said if you wanna get that sound then go and buy some shit equiptment 'cos that's what it was all made on.
very true
but what i really meant was that for most of us the world of multi media or 5.1 surround or all those other great new things which could be experimented with are just too expensive to get into, whereas the guy who works in a bank in surrey and drives a merc will probably have a computer at home that'll make the tea walk the dog etc burn dvds etc etc and here we are struggling away ..
just an observation really
