trust me, when it comes to making descent music you should use whatever you can get, hardware and software and anything else that makes a noise.

thats the kind of reply i wanted, it dosen't matter what you use, as long as you have good ideas you can create cool stuff with hardly any gear

I reckon you can do more with hardware, and using software simply to sequence the stuff on your computer. Use the hardware, and splice, mix and arrange {you record with the comp too} on your computer. Sounds better. Software you can do a lot with I admit, and you can do almost anything with it. But hardware shit, you can do more, because it lets you do more, more variations, better, and many more effects, and just more possibilities. Its my opinion that if you have enough money, get equipment, and use a good studio pack or something to sequence the stuff.

tonyP: and I get the point, I dont think your getting what iam trying to tell you. software can allow you to do lots of things, thus you can do lots with software. hardware lets you do MORE things, thus you can do more with hardware than you can software. if you have 2 people with the same talents, and same kind of imagination and ambition, you give 1 software only, and one hardware, the one with hardware will do more stuff, with a larger array of songs and structures than the one with software only.

basicaly the hardware is a lot more chunky in the anologue department where as the computer works binary style 1s and 0s use what ever comes to hand just make sure you have a decent sequencer be it hardware or software

tonyp: then you are obviously not thinking straight. think of it math wise:
is you are given 5 digits you can only arrange them in a different pattern so many ways. if you are given 9 digits you can arrange them in more ways than you can with 5.

well if you ain't got the brains the shit ain't going to work
no matter what you use
and digital is becoming almost virtual
check alot of the click and beat stuff like pita or fennesz
It also gives people with not alot of money a step up the ladder

oh.. i agree dont think that I don't. Im just saying hardware is the way if you got more then enough cash to do so. thats all. software I have no problem with. I dont want to argure about which is better....

i am not saying either is better i think both have equal use in creating music today. And just because somebody has an expensive bit of hardware dosen't mean he is going to make a track better then somebody with a smaller piece of kit or computer software. It all boils down to what you are comfortable with and find easier to use
I think we are going round in circles here
perhaps we should just stick to the fact that we beg to disagree or something like that
And that i dont care what is used to create a track as long as it has bit of soul and groove

I used to mix live with a friend. I played in a punk/metal/hardcore band that played many shows and fesivals, and got popular in our area and city. Then made many tracks with some software and did that for a while. Made some experimental bass guitar/drum stuff by myself, a mix of all that for a few years, and now here iam 18 years old and waiting for my equipment to get here... Ill be making some good FAT beats with that I can assure you. Let me hear some of your stuff!

i love to use hardware, it's the actual hands on thing i like, being able to actually hit, twist, turn, just generally use your whole self to create.
but i find that i do need some kind of software to help me remember my tracks, for the life of me i just cannot remeber how to play my tracks and qbase or some other sequencing program really helps me to get some kind of structure to my tracks, i find that i can actually visualize the track, and see it in front of me.
but i don't like the idea of just clicking a mouse every now and again and sitting back and watching my track play on its own, where's the fun in that, and also, some of the best tunes come from mistakes, you don't get many mistakes happening in a pre-sequenced pre-programmed track, my mistakes come from when i am playing.
but anyway both formats serve a purpose and it comes down to individuality, which hopefully is why people are creating music, individuality.
you shouldn't give a toss what other people use or like, use what YOU like, create what YOU like, and if it makes YOU happy, then surely YOU have some fullfillment from your own creation.

hardware is more fun because you get to mash buttons and keys and twist knobs and dials and slide things around.
