That is my opinion on the matter as well, no waveform gave beats less precise and more sloppy/loose feel back thenLampdog wrote:Also played a super huge part in swing was chopping by ear back in the day, no waveform, meaning chopping was not sample precise and so swing was exaggerated even moreso in different people's beats. Some of the best swing I've ever had came from chopping by ear on my ASR-10.
) I do admit, chopping by ear gives a track a completely different feel than using waveform as a visual aid.

Its just that fans look too deeply into his work instead of appreciating it. Roger's focus was just music.

lol, it's that the holy grail that Indiana Jones was after?
like I love the Maschine, but it's so vast that I end up getting lost trying to figure out which one of it's many features would compliment a sample/sound. def a gift and a curse.

See, you can make a machine with all that complicated stuff but then you are just pidgeon holding your products to a certain crowd that uses those settings fluently. When you take that and make it simple, then you're speaking the whole world's language and not only bring profits but you build a legacy for yourself. Thats why a garage band song about Cheetos will sell more than Bach's complex pieces. People are dumb so you gotta make it easy for them.
