No. Never. The process is unimportant, its the results that count. Hosts, instruments, effects, etc are all just tools - what matters is getting teh songs right and I would never do that if I sat around waiting for someone to to make [or fix] something for me.

We didn't even have computers at school. And at university they were there but we weren't allowed near them - only the punch-card machines - someone else ran them for us and returned them when it reached the next error in the code. If only I had been on an hourly rate in those days.

VSTs don't do that.

Record company executives armed with little bags of white powder to give away to other entertainment industry insiders do that.

(Of course, that kind of thing NEVER happens these days.)

No, of course not. That was just an old eighties stereotype.

The bags are much bigger now!

the "computers" we had at college were at first the Apple 2E, and then the Mac+ (not even a hard drive, we had to swap floppies from app disk to storage disk)running Master Tracks Pro. The cool thing they had was a pretty large Emu modular with a JL Cooper midi>cv and a cv>midi, you could set up patches on the Emu and record the results or set up controller feedback loops, or send contoller/note info to... when they got a DX7 with the patch editor... at least I was there for the birth of midi... how far that little bugger's come....but my first love is still real analog with a midi>cv

True, but these do break more ground than the kokopellis. I think some music magazine reviewer should have a comprehensive shootout between the two.

take care,

RMX has been the highlight of my year so far. Versatile and quality all the way from the sound to the FX and the innovative way it is laid out.

There really isn't anything that changes the way we look at music/sound lately though... any rumours out there??? There must be something really cool on the horizon...

Menkind tends to superlatives.
Of course there will be anything "groundbreakin" in the future. Anytime and always.

The question is: is it really ground breakin or is it merely called that.
Or: Do we merely believe, that it is actually groundbreakin. And/or do "they" want to make us believe that?

Wathsoever, I believe, that we need also allot of working stuff based on the available, rather than dayly "groundbreaking" novations.

Only people, who are bored by their own inabilities tend heaviely to not to discover the possibilities available, but to ask for anything "ground breaking new" ALL THE TIME.

Those people are mostely the kind of humans, who never really get anything really creative ready, because they are sooo bussy with "waiting for the ground breaking"...
