Original Message Date: 19-Mar-04 @ 08:13 PM - anyone else ever wonder?
"I just spent the last few weeks doing some major changes in my studio setup. soundproofing, new desk, new audio interface.
and now I cant write jack shit. Ive had less and less hardware over the last few years, and my output has dropped significantly. The sound quality is much _cleaner_ now, and I have far more power at my disposal than ever before, but...
everything feels so cold and clinical now! That feeling of grabbing my old akai AX-60, juno106, waldorf pulse...gone. Now its just a mouse and a screen. I still have my virus of course, but somehow even that isnt as exciting anymore because I just make some sounds and then record them into cubase.
some of you are gonna shit their pants, but I actually kinda miss sequencing in midi. I dont miss HW sequencers, but...my old Atari Falcon! Yes, Im serious.
midi sequencing, realtime mixdowns (sending to effects, channel fades, playing with mutes)
I know Im definitely going against the grain here, as everyone is so in love with all that computers offer (heh, the thought of not having a UAD-1 anymore gives me the shakes I tell ya!)
but...anyone else think that maybe, truly, honestly, technology is slowly but surely removing the humanity from the music making equation?
Im not only talking about the "anyone can do it" aspect even though that is clearly true, but...just..the spontaneity, the hands on feel? the..."realness" of it?
oh and btw...nectarios..PLEASE...we know where you stand so...if youre gonna pull the "digital sucks" thing..just save it, ok? "
(the last part is for this guy there that CONSTANTLY throws his "yeah well, my ____ analog sounds WAY better than ____"
gets fckin old, so I dropped a preemptive strike on 'im

Still doesn't answer the primal question about the universe. Was the universe created with hardware of software? Whichever, I believe it was created shortly after a big sale at one of the major music chains. Certainly you've heard of "The big bang for you buck" theory.

...but I agree with you, this is a great thread.
Word up Influx. I think you've become a bit of a cult leader here. This thread is gonna be your manifesto.
...hey, have any of you ever gotten really, really stoned and listened to Del La Soul's Three Feet High album?
...Ok sorry. Once again, I don't think I'm helping.

it's our thread.
i got ghosts to prove it.
music before technology.
spirit before hardware.
life before the alternative......

True, bong hits really shouldn't be required for most of us, but I think Bush NEEDS one, so he can get of his rampage for a bit.
But maybe that's just me.
BS
