How many noobs does it take to fit a ... vacuum tube ?!?!?
People....
We have brains use 'em, make your own opinion. Your own opinion on gear, h/w or s/w. If I take a familiar example.;
Neptunes use the o1/w, if they told you they used the mpc for it you'd believe it too. Why, because in all fairness, a mpc is much cooler. But what the fuck, how could you have known ???
Indeed, you couldn't have known, unless you're a true gearfreak ( like me, but I can be fooled too ). If that wont crush your ego, you'll be fine, but there's cats out there that only talk the drummachine language like there is no other lingua. It's posing with an mpc4000 but you actualy just dont know jack shit about it except the things people tell you. There's stuff that you cant know when you start out, dont pose like you the pro because there are always people that know more. You need those people, but imagine this ; ( hate me, but im using an example here of one who is a likely to be a pro )
(quote by medicine)
A MPC won't work without sofware. Software is what makes the MPC control the hardware. An MPC is just a dummed down computer with a very small screen. Using a computer running acid and controling it with midi triggers is the same technollogy as a MPC. I'm tired of people acting like a MPC is different from a computer, its the same thing, you just can't get MPC software for a computer, but it is really out dated anyway.
Tell that to Roger Linn and all the happy users. But fact is, you obviously dont own one so, actualy, you really dont know,hehe. But seriously, there are loads of smart cats who tell you an mpc from inside out, which leave you speechless, like should cause well...you dont know.
point 2, like a lot of those cats who know what they're talking about cant be bothered with clever kids. That unfortunate when those are just the people you need to get further. For short, they wont take you seriously and mistake you for a no-brain. I hope for those people that they're auto-didact because there's too much to learn on the subject of producing music and entertainment industry. Mind you, i've been doing this for 12/13 years now without schooling and I'm still learning.
So peeps, it good if you want to stand out but bare this one in mind, some people simply know better, learn from them.
Also I aint hatin', I had to elaborate on what we are not thinking about to make an addition to this. It's also an attitude and rann in to often. Like the whole h/w vs. s/w thing, like the people who object the hardest against FL dont use it, they only use reason and couldn't possibly admit the efficieny of another platform which is potentialy better than Reason ( or vice versa, i dont care, i work both n more ). Same with daw users vs. hardware, in most cases where people start hatin', they only talk in one direction, because if someone would admit to the opposit he might feel stupid with his arsenal of h/w or s/w utilities. I mean, common, get a fookin life, you blatantly dissin' something you obviously dont know about to save your face. Like that gonna help from calling you a noob. Talk less and use them ears and eyes, the rest is patience.
