meaning what? as in style? rebirth is pretty limiting as far
as what genres of electronic music you can make

Would the music you make sound different if you had owned
different equipment?

definitely, i think. if i could afford actual hardware
synths and a drum machine, i think i'd be able to do so much
more with my music. things get kind of stale using only
software, in my opinion

probably.

how would I know this without actually making music on other
equipment?

exactly. Thats what i'm trying to find out. What if autechre
only had access to an MS 2000 and nothing else?

yeah so definitely!
im using pitifully enough an MTV music generator,seriously,
that i bought for 10 dollars at wal-mart. if u want,check
out here
and listen to them (2).
more on the way.
i make every fucking little riff down to the note, and
effect. it's fucking crazy the way i can manipulate this
program, im surprised it hasn't gaven up and shit-flushed
all over me....

Yeah, probably, but not a whole lot.

Exapt the skill factor;
If I used reason I would sound even worse (coz I don't know
how to use it), for example.

probably, i just take whatever i can get out of what im
using, and somehow make it into a track.

...I alway think too many programs force you into their way
of working...everything seems to have the same interface so
their output is tinged with that...things do tend to sound
alike when people are using all the same gear...

It's like when you look around at buildings, you can see
exactly who's been learning AutoCad...most public building
of the 70s & 80s are like bad Desktop Publishing....

I wanna see stupid creative interfaces....put these 3D
monster cards to use....I know there's good stuff happening
in this area with MAX/PD/MSP etc... that's where most of the
interesting shit seems to be coming together for me...I
think I'm losing interest in tracks as such; process seems
far more interesting...

heh, sho nuff

cooledit153

it is a sound editor, but i use it for music and have made
about 5 trax w/ it about 3 years ago

i would like a program that is more hands-pn, interactive,
real-time, etc.

yeah, I used to use that a lot...I bet it flys on a decent
PC nowadays...

lots of surpising little features in there...simple synths &
the like...

(I believe I even registered it...probably one of the only
bits I've ever have so must've been good...)...

a lot of people say that having limited equipment or lack
of musical gear can bring out more creativity in a person
and boost your skill level. Because your pushing your gear
to get the most out of it... so you have to learn the ins
and outs of your gear and know it like the back of your
hand... software as well. I am sure that if autechre has a
MS2000 as their main synth, being the talented musicians
that they are, I am sure they could make some wicked stuff,
dont bash the MS2000 because it can make some good sounds
for your, especially if you are filling up the virtual patch
banks with your own patches, I love my MS2000

has=had... of course the MS2000 isnt their main synth....

people I think are just getting to frugen lazy now. People
want to make "IDM" music and they want to make without going
through all the steps you have to take to aquire the know
how and the knowladge or synthesis and dsp technology and
how it works, like Otto Von Schirach said in a track of
his....Commercial Ld+ Add on Escalo Frio, its funny as hell
and it basically sums up what I am trying to say ....

software you use only effects your outcome if you allow it
to. often times if we don't get really creative with
software then we just have another song that sounds like
what most people do with it. It's a good idea to use as
many programs a possible and learn that one function in each
that the others won't do. that way you have an arsonal of
sound tricks you can use and it's not the program you are
using anymore.

I dunno, I think when I can't get a tune down from my head
it's because I'm gash at midi, not because of the software I
use. I don't find sofysynths limiting at all... I used to
find acid a bit restricitive, but things like floops don't
really have limits when you start using a myriad of plugins
& FX.

I used to think re-birth was really limiting, but I think
the trick is to just use it from time to time with other
stuff. Naturally, if you just make music only using that
it's bound to sound fairly bland. I remember when re-birth
first came out, being amazed at the range of sounds you
could get, but know I just think it's laughable. I expect
one day I'll think absynth & reaktor are "limiting". Maybe
not... :P

When I start working on a new track I say 'fuck, this time I
won't use any granular synthesis'. And in almost any case,
after 1hour playing with a amen break I end up using this
ol'good granular machine with buzz and sound like bad
autechre :)
