Candyass!
Using a tape cassette drive and a Franklin Ace 1000 with 16kb of RAM, I wrote a program in Pascal which synthesized a monophonic sine-wave that replicated the soundtrack for Clockwork Orange over a period of six months.
It took 4,000 dollars of home-made methamphetamine, five years and four teeth along with six septic abscesses that required hospitalization after a catastrophic accident as the tape splicer I was using became involved in a rather humiliating psychotic episode. Six months later, when the song was finally rendered, I was sued for copyright infringement when I tried to sell the replicated sound-track, and it was confiscated, never to be heard, again. |

Um DJ RANN...What the are you talking about? You didn't even negate any point I mentioned. You just added to what I said then threw in a few bits about me being wrong. Who the cares that you work with a big system? And what does it matter? Your whole posting here is just completely random. You shed no light on the subject what so ever. You just come in, see me, and throw up random information and some how you think in your mind "Yeah, I en defeated cronodevir, I'm hot :P" Your quiet pathetic. You have no substantial music to account for all this high and mighty knowledge you claim to have. You boast about what you know, try to make it look like your correcting me so that your friends here will like you more. Mean while s like testio and armin all over your theories and make money doing so. And you, unfortunately never will, because any album you ever put out I will torrent. Though nothing you make will ever be worth doing it. Now with everything you posted, either prove what statements of mine you have proven wrong..or shut the up because I get tired of seeing you. Can you even do that?
I mentioned video games because that's generally how a machine is benchmarked. Audio doesn't even use a video card, so doing audio is not the best way to benchmark a whole PC. Though I am sure one of you dumbs will come around and try to say otherwise. *sigh*
Diginut, As mentioned before your not even an artist. Lets see you create anything in 3osc. You know you all talk a lot of , but not one of you has even produce a piece of music worth listening to. So that begs the question, do you just sit around reading music mags and watching youtube videos on production. Then come into a forum and try to miss correct everyone?
I mean really, no one on this forum even has the ability to understand logical fallacy and debate properly. Its like talking to a bunch of leymen who read popular mechanics and now they think they know how the world works. Really, I think ive gone a step too far. Diginut is the only one here who actually has any sense. When he posts his posts show signs of intellect. What DJ RANN just posted, was completely ing random and out of the blue. He didn't object to anything I said in his post. Yet he didn't agree with anything I said either, but apparently he has a "point" in a "debate" and I am somehow wrong because of it.
Who is bragging? You think that someone with basic skills you don't have is bragging? Come on, like in that video thread, where the kid is doing improv melodies.. that was ing nothing. Everyone was looking up to a guy with mediocre skill. Coming up with melodies is what makes a person a musician. If you can't do that then wtf are you? A sound engineer?
Is that how you see the world diginut, people who do stuff you can't do are bragging about it when they speak? Do you expect really that everyone on this forum but you has to use a big ass crap omnisphear synth or something and is reduced to presets? Synth programming is a *basic* skill. Its novice level production. I suppose if you can't even do that than it is bragging.
And finally, to the subject of me being wrong. Show me where I was wrong about anything other than what I have admitted to being wrong?
In this thread, what did I say that was "incorrect" tell me?
/me is waiting.
Man what they say about TA is true. I guess I should go back to treating everyone as a lesser person than me, because that is how people act. Lesser than me. So keep droning out your dribble. :) |

Yeah I tried being nice for a few days. Guess it didn't work, you have to treat people the way they treat you. Which means my attitude is justified.
Lol some of the people around here are like animals, you even look at them and they think you want to fight, like ants and other bugs. They don't even realize they are NOT in a fight, but they try to fight anyways. |

You're missing my point.
You're also looking at your own reflection and I suspect you don't really like what you see. Unfortunately, you aren't quick to read someone else's post and realize that it may be a reflection of the content of yours. Instead, you've chosen to blame others and accept no responsibility for your own actions that led to the current crisis where you've decided to adopt a rather aggressive posture. |

Nah, These problems don't happen anywhere else, so I suspect its just part of the environment. Perhaps because there is a lack of moderators to break up retarded netisputes. Or maby everyone is just on a road to try and best the other man, who knows? I mean its in most peoples nature to try to disprove another guy they don't agree with, and seeing as every time I post my opinion, this urge occurs in someone. |

A quick and very plausible rationalization.
Are you in a place where ego is largely king? Yes.
Do your posts, in particular, tend to attract attention which disputes your theses? Yes.
Is TA a place where a thicker than normal skin is required? Probably. This isn't the place for vulnerable, over-sensitive egos who take things too personally or literally.
Is this a result of everyone else's problem and not of yours? I don't think there's a case to be made for validation of a conclusion which may otherwise support persecutory delusions.
For starters, if that were the case, people wouldn't be able to get along here, much, at all, let alone enough to be able to generate any sort of sustained discussion. You may be looked up to when you go elsewhere but the fact of the matter is that there are a lot of people here, who while they don't believe they're the smartest person in the room, know who they are and know they are smart. And, honestly, most of the people here, in this forum, seem to fall into that category.
The moderators of the forum aren't to blame for your predicament, either. My observation is that they want a place where healthy debate is fostered, and that in so doing, they've adopted a laid back style. Most of the disagreements that I've either witnessed or been party to have been resolved when the individuals either agreed to disagree or simply decided that the points in contention were too trivial to be sore about.
What's more, in that regard, is that when friction arises, it's not altogether unhealthy and can actually function to stimulate the discussion further.
It's not that anyone here is better than you but, you ought to consider, you're no better than any of them, either. The only person whose feelings are going to be hurt is you when your estimation of yourself continues to support the belief that you're any better than anyone else. The fact of the matter is that it just isn't true enough for people to put up with someone who acts that way without making small cases which easily prove otherwise; hence, your obstinacy in reaction to the way you're being treated. |

its weird their was a time i hated my time here on ta. i had the piss taken out of me left right and center.
and now the tables have turned some what and i try to give something back. you will have to realise that people will always question what other people say. that doesn't mean it makes them right or wrong,just a small fact.
i think most will agree the production room has become more chilled and friendly and lets hope it stays that way.
:D :D |

Except that I believe some people do objectively have more value than others. I suppose you consider that a problem. There are people better than me, and there are people who aren't, a lot [all] of it has to do with their reasoning, their ability to function. And to make sense and realize certain things about the world.
A good example of an un reasonable or illogical person, the one that cannot differentiate between reality and imaginary. Take the notion that if you divide something in your mind by 50%, you will always have something there. Infinitely. While the reality is that no object is infinite and thus you cannot really divide something by 50% infinitely.
The one that understands that is how it is. Is reasonable, and is better than the one who cannot. For Example.
Or even more, "a thing must be to do". Many people cannot grasp that concept. |
