No, I think you are insecure. The fact that we're on an internet forum is incidental. |

It is one against many. Though you yourself have never been in such a predicament.
And its not even that its one against many, its that people try to argue when there is no argument going on. The last bunch of posts between you and me. Do you see that as an argument? Its not an argument you know. I mean just watch, eventually someone will come in, tell me how wrong I am, not point out how or why I was wrong, and this discussion you and me are having will start over. And they will do that why?..because they see 3-4 people agreeing with each other *against* one guy. So the natural conclusion to many is that the one guy must be wrong about something.
You will even hear the people say this, "well if many people around you are saying your wrong, then maby it has something to do with you" As if what others say *is* the factor that determines if your own point is correct or incorrect. But again, Ive not been in many discussions here where there was even a point. Most of the time my posts are taken by themselves, and people don't generally have the ability to cross reference my post with what Ive said in previous posts in the same thread.
Ontop of all of that. Your trying to use the scapegoat that there is an issue with me and not others, buying into the quote I mentioned above. It is slightly on the Ad Hominem side...though I cannot say that because again we aren't in an argument. Your talking about me because there is no point you and me disagree at other than "why" we are disagreeing. You claim I disagree because of narcissism. And I claim its because well..there is nothing to agree or disagree about. And that it is that which is the usual case. Take for instance DJ RANN's first post. He first words are "You don't know what your talking about"..every sentence after that didn't conflict with anything I have said. So...what was the point? |

anyways ... lol
using standard pc benchmarks like video games isn't really a great way for audio. Video Games have different needs. DAW also vary depending on the use. A recording rig needs fast hardrives. A rig for sample play back doesn't need a fast cpu, it needs lots of ram, and it also needs fast hardrives. And for what it is worth cronodevir, you aren't the most polite person on here and your posts do often warrant the rude responses you get. I try really hard to remain civil with you. |

Sure, but in the context of this forum, I assume most people use their PCs for things other than dedicated audio. Audio is only about 50% of what I use my PC for. Misjudgment on my part? Sure. If we were in a sound engineering forum full of people who are obviously professionals. Talking about a video game rig would be pretty fallacious. But this is a casual website about trance music in general. Not John McSoundphiles Engineering forum.
On a average user level a PC that can run the latest game is usualy enough for your average Cubase or FLStudio user, which is what this forum is full of. |

I've been in "such a predicament" many times, and usually manage to stay reasonably on topic and not look like a total asshat in the process.
You don't say anything of substance; you just insult everybody else and change the subject when you get called on your B.S. If you're just trying to get a rise out of people, I would call that puerile. If on the other hand you seriously believe your own crap, then I strongly suggest getting your head examined. |

the context of this forum is that it is in the production area which would make video game benchmarks irrelevent. The context of this actual thread is that the OP made reference to how many vsts could be run. Nomatter how you look at it, video game benchmarks are not relevent in this particular thread.
And your comment regarding the latest pc being able to run the latest game as somehow a good indication that it is a good configuration? Surely you don't believe this. There is so much literature on certain MOBOS, great for gaming, a nightmare for audio. So many posts detailing how chipsets , that would be great for games , are again nightmare for audio. And that is just the MOBO and CPU. I could go on. A great video card is usually something you don't ever want for a DAW. Great gaming pcs tend to make lousy DAWs. Not saying it isn't possible. But video game pcs allocate all resources to run games, not audio software. The mobos do everything possible to speed up graphics slowing everything else on your bus ( audio card ). |

Lol coming from the guy whos first words to me were "your a ing idiot" Ive not insulted anyone. If it seems like I have its a misunderstanding of my words on their part. I speak normally and expect others to follow it. I don't lower my standard of dialogue to accommodate people who easily misunderstand normal human speech.

This is as much of a production forum as it is a warez forum. If you want a serious production forum visit KVR. Though be careful what you say, the word "warez" has an automatic ban. I know from experience. The mods there are like Gestapo. |

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you."
I want to be abundantly clear, that I'm not considering you to have NPD. I have no basis for such a conclusion as I am not a qualified professional in psychology and do not have the ability to administer any sort of assessment that would prove otherwise.
Do I find your posts to be narcissistic? Absolutely, but I'll be away for a bit and need to leave shortly and don't have time to go and pick out the abundance of evidence you've supplied which supports my conclusion.
I don't dislike you, either.
But you have posted some incredibly stupid things which, on inspection, seem to be supported by some rather loopy reasoning and I'm all for poking at that, in part because it's funny.
I've trolled internet forums for quite a while, and having bored of it, I stopped trolling. I might take it up, again, but not here. If you think you're feeling any kind of heat, here, you're just plain wrong. I haven't trolled with just opinions I knew were invalid, either. I've trolled political forums, just telling the truth, and believe me, am quite expert at crowd and mobbing control. That was funny, too.
That said, you'd make a very good troll - if only you knew that you were trolling. :) |

how is this a warez site ?
From what i've ascertained in the last month, this is a trance production site. Which is why i go on here because despite not making trance anymore, i still like to see what people are up to when i am not working on a project. EDM is generally quite cutting edge in regards to production which is why i find value in popping in here every now and then.
Being myself someone that has a rather poor internet etiquette, i think your ideas are not getting across because of you wash them in inflammatory junk that doesn't add to what you want to say. I think this is the main cause of everyone being a little upset by your posts. |

I know what trolling is. Trolling is the act of giving information on a subject when you are surrounded by people who disagree. Imagine what happened when I tried to tell people why paper money is destroying the world. And why feminism is the destruction of the west. ... To Europeans. Lets not even get into the many debates on why someone else s belief system is wrong.

That is the point, TA is not a warez site. |

Those weren't my first words, they were only the words I used after I realized that you were in fact a ing idiot. And I can assure you that I would not have written "you're" is "your".
Speaking of not insulting anyone, here is something that is definitely not an insult to anyone:
| quote: | | I don't lower my standard of dialogue to accommodate people who easily misunderstand normal human speech. |
Not to mention every second post from you about how I haven't produced any tracks and lack basic skills and therefore must be jealous of yours. Although those posts are at least somewhat amusing on account of being absurdly off-base, like some derelict running around the streets naked with a tinfoil hat screaming that they're controlling our minds with laser beams from space. |

That isn't an insult. Its not insulting to call someone out on a problem they have IF they do in fact have a problem.
Its not an insult to call a crackhead a crackhead, an alcoholic and alcoholic. Etc Etc...
I talk about your production skills because you always seem to think I am boasting about mine. So obviously you must not be very far if you think playing improvise melodies or using 3osc to making nice big sounds is impressive. And if you didn't think they were impressive you wouldn't have thought I was boasting about something. |
