You listened to twenty seconds, or are you implying that 20 seconds ended the grace for your ears and you suffered additionally as you perused the index on the sound-cloud player? And then came to the conclusion that my drum programming was spewing out random and unrelated patterns. What can I say? The factory presets I was using just weren't that coherent? You may not have liked the inclinations to house music I tried to accomplish or even the progression of the drum patterns; the sounds I have chosen, the opacity of my mix, or my overall style for this particular piece of work, but your analysis shows precious little insight into my strategy, goals, and ethos I employed. There is even less of what I would consider helpful which almost seems to imply that it is beyond any sort of help you could offer.
That said, If I'm accusing you of being upset, it's because the hallmarks of hostility are couched in the language you're using. It's the haughty, dismissive attitude and your clinical tone of eviscerating condescension; completely devoid of any empathy, what-so-ever. The inevitable conclusion one should come to, being so addressed by an industry professional, would seem to be that all is lost and that one ought to pack it in or at least have the decency to refrain from displaying home-made digital swill.
What would you have me think of what you post, if it is, in actuality, not meant to cause harm? That it is some inevitable truth I (or we, as the case may be) ought to come to grips with which, in the end, would serve me (us) in some way? That you're not casting aspersions but, instead, just tossing out your nuggets of unvarnished truth and letting the chips fall where they may?
I'm all for being honest, in particular because I've seen and heard where white-washing glaring issues actually poses a disservice to those such a treatment was meant to protect. I'm also not suggesting that there's nothing I could do for the work this thread pertains to which would improve it or, for that matter, that it has no mistakes: That which plainly should be corrected in order to improve it. Personally, however, I think your brand of honesty has very little to do with being helpful.
Really, it just seems more designed to suck the fun out of the process with all the loving tenderness of a fuel-air-bomb. And that really is the only reason I do what I do - because it's fun.
