Maybe you wouldnt, but someone else might. I thought it was a ok read for a noob who got some brain and can filter out those things that he dont need.

Even though I def more likely would put people in your "article" direction simply because its better, that dosnt mean the other is total shit

I never said the artcle was total shit, but the whole thing is from a "I'm getting a hardware studio" orientation. Most new people, aren't concerned with hardware these days. For 99.9% of all the noobs out there getting into music in 2009, they are going to be software only for a good bunch of years [if they are smart] before they invest in thousands of dollars of gear. [if they ever do get gear]

Its not rocket science.

No I totally agree, I have been producing for about 5 years now and all I have is a disfunctional Midi synth. You dont need fancy synths and stuff in many years because you have enough to work with already. When the time have come you know why you want to buy a certain thing.

I have forgotten my point but I think many can benefit from the whole experiment more and also read the manual point.

1. Ever heard of quantize?
2. Most producers create imprecise timing intentionally, even if they are manually inputting notes (it's called "humanizing"). It sounds better.

Sadly, ignoring the trolls only works when the "trolling" is intentional; crono unfortunately believes the garbage he writes, and apparently has a boring enough life to spend several hours a day writing it here.

On that point, just the other day I was looking through the manual for one of my hardware synths and stumbled across a very creative and useful routing capability that I was totally unaware of and which isn't intuitive from looking at the front-panel controls. So, it's not just newbs that can benefit from these Commandments.

Yes it does. Excellent point. The contrast between rigid hard-quantized repeating parts (e.g., plucks, basses) with a more flowing, humanized lead synth performance, strings/pads (or even vocals) provides very effective results.

sixofour.604, Inputting notes with a mouse is faster? in 7 years you still can't play a keyboard? There was a time when you actually had to play what you recorded. It might be an amazing concept to you but people can and still do it.




Your logic is flawed. Come back in about ten more years. Maybe we can talk then.



Feel free to ignore this, I'm done.

No one said people can't play keyboard, I said its redundant. There is no quantifiable benefit to doing something on a keyboard as opposed to input notes manually.

Besides, many classical musicians actually wrote notes down in paper before they even played them for the first time. So its not strange to manually write notes on a PC instead of using an instrument to play them.

Heck, even most classical musicians couldn't play every instrument in an orchestra, yet they still wrote music for each instrument.

I input notes because its faster and easyer and more precise. If you can play an arpeggio that uses 12 keys at the same time at 184 BPM, then let me know. Untill then, you go on and live in your fanatsy world where playing on a keyboard is easyer.

Play that, its even at half its speed for you.

Fail. Next time make sure I actually mispelled the words.

I suppose colour and behaviour are mispellings also.

Take an etymology class sometime. [Note: I said Etymology not ENTymology]
