What Ruins Music: Installers or Entitled Lazy People?

hahaha, awesome. My two cents is nothing is free because it all costs time. Time is a currency, we even trade it to each other. I'd suggest time is more valuable than money because we have a finite amount. Plus money always cost time, however time doesn't always cost money. In conclusion, Summer Glau.

Your posts are priceless. From what you said earlier, no I'm not crediting you. (pun?) Experimental music is interesting.

Then the objection effectively becomes moot because it means nothing can be free.

Ah, life in the gilded free software cage.

It has nothing to do with free vs. paid. If the best paid library was ilok, people would still say, "ilok, no thanks!" What if that library could take your music to the next level and change you life?! People aren't willing to even take an opportunity to try something because of their preconceived notions about the installation processes and licensing services. And that's mainly why all those companies have apps, for licensing purposes so people can't steal/duplicate their products.

I see where you're coming from, but I don't think that the tools you use determine the quality of your music, at least not to a large extent. Buying a library that can change your life is what marketing people want to make you believe, but it just doesn't work that way. If you use a decent library and your music is crap, it will still be crap after buying the "best" library.

People that can only ever make crap don't enter into it. They have no impact on the curious and involved.

One can acquire a library which presents things which their life otherwise didn't or isn't very likely to, as a learning experience. I'm watching a violinist learn how a guitar operates using a great design where the notes appear on the fretboard on the visual on the main page in Kontakt right now. It's not any great stretch for a violinist but there are things. "is it not possible to play these two notes at the same time?"...

Or an orch library, where the articulations may all be laid out, for instruments. And who knew? A library may kind of change one's life, as there are things which don't come up in 'real life' that are right in front of you now.
For someone like me, who wanted to hear their orchestration ideas, there was scarce opportunity for it working for a living with no funding coming from outside, for a real life performance; and now, I can hear it and a lot of it I can hear right away! THAT IS a life-changing situation.

I don't care about the people who are lazy, life is too short for that. It used to really irritate me and I would react. If it means dissemination of bad information I might today (and here I am), but the tossers will toss, and whatever.
