stick to your hardware, son, because you are being lapped in a 100 yard dash. i get the impression that if you lived in the horse and buggy era and car was just invented you would stick with the horse and buggy because you would be scared of the technology. that's cool. ok, i am off to work now, recording a soap comercial. what are you doing today? oh yea, beat my pads in my bedroom. i wonder what you beat when you are finished beating you pads.
mwalker wrote:i agree with you in some points. i do own a mpc and use it all the times. with an software setup an individual can go from idea to cd with one machine. period. there are allot of talented people out there and we all are looking for an egde and if you go to any top of the line studio you will see a mpc (maybe 2) but most studio run pro-tool, cubase, reason, logic and so on with software effects. the mpc alone will not give you that studio power because you need mixer, effect, recording device, cd burning. with the software setup an individual is closer to a real studio enviroment than spending $1000s and $1000s of dollar for hardware. in some cases hardware is better but i would rather laid down a track with my real drumset.
is hardware better than playing a real instrument? is hardware the next step from playing a real instrument? so, software is the next step in the music world. go to any top of line studio and you will see for yourself.
rofl dude just shut up, I told you to put up or shut up (post some original music you did all byyourself) then you give me the run around, just FYI I've played piano for a few years, so I know my theory quite well, so I choose not to entertain your questions for the sheer fact that your trying to railroad you posting your music up
You know damn well no one is driving or taking a plane to where your at so your so quick to say Yaaah come check me out blah blah blah, but when its time to post, your whole game switches up....
1) You don't need a degree in music to make music (Hell you don't even need theory to be good at music) (blah blah yes it helps reason I have it)
2) blah blah blah you grad in 1985 that means your a dinosaur that is behind in times, and your prob garbage, anyone can make up some shit so I gradded from the Puff Daddy's House of Looping in 1990, who gives a shit, you can know all the shit in the world and still be garbage, so lets hear
3) you sure do like to put out alot of shit without saying anything anyone can confirm, ok so you beat drums for someone hitting record? that makes you special? lol, name the cd you are on and Ill go buy it
4) please with the hardware shit,(not including the additonal software and plugins) I own 15k worth of shit including my pc with all the programs your naming, so that shit aint shaking considering I have spent quite a big deal with all those programs and still went out and brought a mpc 4k, I also use a DIGI 002m for PT, not cubase.... like yourself
I can go from start to finish on my hardware setup, so your not saying shit new
5)lol @ you naming PT,Cubase,Reason,Logic with software efx, o you mean home studios right? cause you need to be slapped if you mean pro studios, considering the amount of MPCs in studios greatly outnumber Reason, Cubase isnt that popular in the US, PT is dominate with Logic right behind it, and alot of people use alot of outboard hardware (arent you suppose to be a studio musician? your suppose to know this....., looks like I've been to alot more studios than a "Studio Musician"
6) lol @ MPC isnt going to give you real studio power, your a moron, thanks for stating the obvious, which is why people either have PT or a hard-disk recorder right next to their MPC, no one "Software" program is going to give you "Studio power" thats why you have plugins and other programs in use with your "One Software program", just like a mpc
7) ok at the 1000s and 1000s shit, we get it your a cheap ass, considering you can get a hell of a setup for a few

lol @ next step shit, ya with Pro Tools, it was a craze, all the rest of these programs besides Logic, and all the home studio cubase users, there really isnt much to shake a stick at, but if you wanna feel like your on the leading edge of technology cause all those years of beating your drums and you still cant put a song togethor, its ok
You see why I address you the way I do? cause of the stupid shit you say, you say you been in this game all these years, named all those software programs, and then your friend told you thats 2 much software? all you need is reason and live3? dude get the **** outta here, that set off newbie alarm right there
So skip all the bullshit, and post up your original music, we dont give a shit bout all the talk, I wanna see the walk, for some reason I knew you wouldnt post it the first time, and stop with asking me a bunch of useless questions, Im not the one on trial here, you are, It's like them asking Michael Jackson to pull down his pants so they can collect evidence, and him saying no you pull down your pants (thats the equalivent of what your doing)
Post music, or you don't have shit to say to me old man
