learn the differences in slang before you label others. There is more than one 'english' language to behold...

I think you need to take a look at teh big picture. Go to your local "Battle of the Bands" and see a bunch of people playing in front of their friends and having a blast. Or to any one of hundr3ds of small pubs and clubs with live music. Broaden your horizons.Cabinfever wrote:Who's against software-based music ? I was merely arguing that this is NOT some golden age of music. It's an age where music has gone from community-based to corporate-based.
Whose perspective is looking mimted now> There was no music I really enjoyed growing up. None. No appreciation for it ata ll, really. Then along comes something that literally changed my life, punk. From that sprung this neew DIY attitude that liberated creative people to venture into areas never seen before, like Industrial. From there everythgn just exploded, all largely thanks to developing technology.VicDiesel wrote:I agree with many points, but your perspective is a bit limited....
... Again, technology allows us things that wouldn't be possible otherwise, but the enjoyment of music would merely be different, not less, without it.
Who give a shit about Bach?Recorded music. Yes, it's a pity that there is no way to hear what Bach sounded like when he improvised.
Me three but none of that would have been possible for me without the technology to fly around teh world or the technology to put on huge concert events. Your perspective just gets narrower with each passing sentence.But recordings, no matter how good, are still a poor substitute for the live experience. A penniless friend of mine saved forever to be able to travel to Bayreuth and hear Wagner performed. I cherish the memory of some concerts far more than any CD I have.
That would be a good thing how?And what if you didn't have recordings? You'd probably be much more intimately aware of the style of music making in your direct surroundings, and you'd develop in a more subtle way, seeing more shades in a smaller range of music.
Why should that be their goal? Sounds to me like they were just passing the time of day in teh most annoying way imaginiable.RTaylor wrote::} How else will they ever get noticed?

I hear ya, Hink.Hink wrote:The computer has become an instrument in itself, those "players" who dispute this are likely to have their own agenda. Perhaps they are insecure about their abilities and feel threatened, some might have a feeling that it's unfair that they practiced so long and people who can't play a thing can pop out tunes by the dozen a day. Any way you look on it that's on them, it should have no effect on how you or I make music...and I have only been with a DAW for about 1/6 of the amount of time I've been playing guitar...it's a new place to grow for me
I've played lots of gigs - LOTS of gigs - on a traditional instrument. I practiced, I got good, and I even screwed up an elbow and a shoulder in the bargain.
Now I make music on my computer. It's different, but it's still music. And between the samplers and the synthesizers and the FX, I can make a much wider range of sound now than I could playing a traditional instrument. I think it's fun to expand the horizons and delve in to new types of music, and learn production techniques that I never needed when I was just playing.
The computer has made that possible. It's definitely an instrument in itself (or perhaps a studio in itself) - one with a seemingly infinite number of possibilities.

The computer has become the great equalizer.
With a minimum of care in the production anyone with the vast array of 'free' or 'commercial' software products can produce music rivaling the best corporate-generated sound.

The range of sound may be wider but most of the software out their lacks nuances within those palettes. Thank God & Dave for making Minimonsta such an expressive thing, I only hope other instruments follow suit.ccollinsmith wrote:between the samplers and the synthesizers and the FX, I can make a much wider range of sound now than I could playing a traditional instrument.

What's wrong with the word c**t? In some instances it is the only true and accurate description that conveys the contempt with which you hold someone...
...and anyone who makes me listen to folksy shite and thinks they're doing me a favour, or anyone who thinks their taste in crap should be forced on me from their car stereo at painful volumes...
...is a c**t, plain and simple.

I have absolutely no problem with your usage of British slang...I can't think of a better description of annoying idiots like the car 'boom-box' numskulls that like to slowly cruise my house at 3AM.

People will still complain even when they are sitting in a comfortable chair, in a comfortable house, watching the world go by and saying "I am glad that isn't me mate."
People are never satified with their lot.
Most people couldn't care about the plight of others, as long as it doesn't affect them. When it does OH BOY!
Being lucky is relative.
Years ago there wasn't the equipment to create music or art like there is now. All on one piece of environmentally wrecking equipment. Brilliant!
