SOFTWARE or HARDWARE
 

tonyp from london on 2001-08-20 10:19 [#00023268]



you decide


 

Gl;itch from New Zealand on 2001-08-20 10:27 [#00023272]



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.


 

tonyp from london on 2001-08-20 10:31 [#00023275]



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.

still mising the point

its not what you got its what you do with it that counts !

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.

i disagree

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



 

|=|r3fl3x|=| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-20 11:39 [#00023305]



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.


 

Gl;itch from New Zealand on 2001-08-20 11:48 [#00023327]



isnt that why its best to have Hardware and Software and
Brains and Talent ?

Gl;tch: hell yes!

>:D


 

Gl;itch from New Zealand on 2001-08-20 11:58 [#00023331]



hey Dingle Berry, Analogue Rules :)

it really does

*Kicks Digital in Virtual Ass*


 

|=|r3fl3x|=| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-20 12:07 [#00023335]



hahahh kick it real good!


 

tonyp from london on 2001-08-20 12:13 [#00023336]



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


 

|=|r3fl3x|=| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-20 12:14 [#00023337]



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....

>:D


 

tonyp from london on 2001-08-20 12:22 [#00023342]



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


 

|=|r3fl3x|=| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-20 12:35 [#00023344]



tonyp: well... i can agree to disagree thats totally cool
with me! he.. nice.... well do you make tunes by chance? or
want to?

>:D



 

tonyp from london on 2001-08-20 12:38 [#00023346]



i try

how about you


 

|=|r3fl3x|=| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-20 12:39 [#00023348]



i have for many years.. but stopped cause I suffered from
something like writers block, but only for music.. get me?
And well i figure ill wait to get my equipment then start
again.. music is life for me. ... really. ..... what sort o
tunes you make?


 

tonyp from london on 2001-08-20 12:43 [#00023350]



well ive just finished some sound sculptures filtered sounds
with clicks and scraps

But i really want to do some more stuff with melody and
wonky beats

not released any stuff cos its stilll a bit crap

How abouyt you what have you done ?


 

|=|r3fl3x|=| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-20 12:47 [#00023353]



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!


 

tonyp from london on 2001-08-20 12:49 [#00023355]



can you listen to listen to this file


 

|=|r3fl3x|=| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-20 12:50 [#00023356]



what? I dont get it!?

>:D


 

tonyp from london on 2001-08-20 13:01 [#00023368]



check your email ?

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.


 

tonyp from london on 2001-08-20 16:37 [#00023435]



right on

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