Should we ditch VST/AAX instruments altogether?

[egbert101]

I dont care in the slightest whether someone else has too much gear, too little gear, the same gear as me, different gear from me, suffers from option paralysis, obsesses with optimisation or minimalism, doesnt use their gear for making 'enough' music, makes different music from what I like, doesnt make music at all, uses junk, spends all their time chasing the next big thing, or collects gear expensive they never use. It makes no difference to me whasoever, and yet so many of them seem to think it should.
I have my gear for my reasons, and do my stuff with it, my way, when I decide to, create what I want to create, and enjoy that. Other people's reasons and decisions arent even slightly relevant to any of that.

It really is remarkable how few people there are here who are secure enough to respect other people's choices. So many folk here seem to desparately need to validate themselves as being the arbiter of the One True Path, and just dont seem to be able to cope with life unless they're up on their soapbox, trying to diminish or undermine anyone who has a different opinion. Its f**king sad, it really is.

Okay Mr Perfect. We all have a problem and you don't.

If that's how you decide to misinterpret 'we dont all have the same problem as you say we do' then knock yourself out. But actually you're just underlining my point.

I've read your posts for years. You are always right and never wrong.

Is this a long-winded way of saying DX/i was the best format?

I think Ben should have the last word. If he closes site down, then we'll know

Im afraid I havent really reciprocated in any conscious way, but whatever helps you make peace with yourself.

Arguing on forums, always being right, and having the last word. Must bring you a lot of peace too. Or maybe not?

Arguing on forums

says he, arguing on a forum

, always being right

,

says he, insistent that he's right

and having the last word.

says he, trying to get the last word

Im kinda neutral on it, TBH. It does root out a lot of self-unawareness in folk, it has to be said. And a lot of folk who just devolve into ad hominem.

betcha that wasnt your last word, amiright?

I'm not judging. I have my own addictions, problems, things to deal with life. Music happens to be one of those things that helps me deal with them. However, addictions can get out of hand, as well all know. So it's better to acknowledge it and be aware of it, than not.

Saying other people must have the same problems as you do isnt 'acknowledgement' or 'awareness'.

You wrote a quite lengthy text for someone who:

dont care in the slightest whether someone else has too much gear...

Maybe the nail on head was too much for your to handle...

As I said earlier, there's no "vst police" to knock at your door when your ssd card will choke after you'll install your 7th Kontakt harp library.

Feel free to catch as many vsts as you can, just don't take it personally

On a side note,
I'm working on a cover for this song:



What drum vst I need in order to have the exact drums sound of the original?
I'm just gonna replace the word "pokemon" with "vst" and all pokemon names with different "nexus, kontakt, halion, serum, etc.." but other than that, I want it to be as identical as possible

I can type quickly. You maybe wanna be careful about making even more silly assumptions.

Oh I absolutely would, if I wanted to, except for the fact that I primarily use eurorack hardware. You maybe wanna be careful about making even more silly assumptions.

so it's as i said, a lack of knowledge and original ideas?

not even just the song idea, but the gotta catch em all, comment too. not like it's an old joke here or anything...

I hope that I made some of you ponder a little bit about this whole concept in some deeper level, and maybe reach some new conclusions.

New conclusions, no.
Old conclusion, yeah - a troll's a troll. Only difference is you're sitting under a different bridge taking a dump in the same river.

It's really getting pretty impressive, isn't it? 16 pages deep now.

Plugins need a real preset system again, not these cheap gui preset systems where you have to click on the little pieces. Whoever invented these was evil and dying.
