ehhh i get where you're going but i mean ... you could make something that sounds the same by programming via mouse and via mpc sequencer and pads
like if you were given drum sheet music and said "recreate this on both the pc using Acid or Reason and with an MPC"
but of course there is something to be said for proficiency with a playable instrument - ie a drumpad controller ie mpc or mpd.
you can't really get good at "playing" the mouse.
but what you are saying is right, the end product can sound exactly the same either way given the skill/experience/patience/committment of the programmer.
Yeah of course.. and i know what u sayin man..
It is better to play them, and more fun to program that way usin pads or keys.. but regardless to that u could sit and make the same drum pattern u got in ur head usin mouse to program..
Coz drums aint a random thing like makin ur pattern and stickin to it, drums have to work cohiesivly with melody and same the other way around.. some times i start with melody sequence some times i start with drums.. some times i do half half and go back and forth between them but which ever route i take some sh!ts always bein edited again workin back and forth to work everything together as 1...
I start off bangin my sh!t out on midi keys (i use rack sampler not mpc, although i wanna get mpd to work with it) and then do touchin up and slight variations alot with the mouse, although still jam certain things workin variations with keys, changes time to time dependin whats goin on same with most peeps no one keeps to a set routine.
Good points u said yeah, good too coz some times peeps dont elaborate enough ( i know i dont alot) and i noticed u always come in and sum everything up makin sure nothin missed lol.
and yeah its much better to program sh!t usin pads.. but either way this mans problem with programmin with swing all comes down to himself and his skills, coz if he knows how they supposed to work he should be able to program them with mouse even if he cant / before he can play well and in time with the pads / keys etc
