oi, u all remember that PVD Interview sticky a while back? PVD was being asked about equipment and PVD promoting someone "quite promising" saying that the song premise was beautiful, except this guy had some crappy equipment. (he was comparing it to crappy songs made with good equipment, bla bla bla). Do you guys know who PVD was talking about? I was thinking it was either Starecase or Empire, in case those aren't PVD aliases....???
edit: hey i found it:

You should really concentrate on what you really really like and not what's maybe trendy or what's going on, and don't be shy! This is actually something that I have mixed feelings on. I have people coming to us with the biggest rubbish and they think it's great and they get really annoyed when you tell them that it's rubbish. On the other hand, there's this guy in Canada who comes across really shy and is like listen here and it's absolutely amazing, it's just not sounding right. Everyone has to find their own way of bringing across what they like to bring across and that's really it. The only thing you can bring across to people is what you love 100%, everything else is compromises and what people are going to recognise straight away.

Well, I think you definitely need a basic setup to get a decent sound. It's not working with that Magix Music Maker kind of stuff, that's certainly not. Well, you're laughing, but we get a lot of demos done on those things and then people get back to us [and ask], "like what do you think?" You say, "Well maybe not" and then they don't really understand. You have to have a basic setup - but we're not talking about multi-million dollar studios or something. As an example for Vandit, our label, there was this kid in Canada, giving me a CD and he was like, "Here, listen to what I am doing." I came back home and I was listening to it and it sounded absolutely terrible, it was horrible, but the thing is, the track itself that he did, was absolutely amazing. So we basically, recalled him and signed the record and sent him back into a studio with someone who has the basic background knowledge about engineering and that was one of the biggest tracks I played yesterday
