lol, you say it like drum machines weren't the very foundation of all dance music. I mean, we quite literally would not have house music if it was not for drum machines, and frankly I'd prefer to make music on a drum machine than do what Brian Eno abhorred the most; people sitting in cubicles, painting notes in with a mouse.
V drums are great and all but we're making dance music. It really isn't rocket science. I don't have time for all the goat farming, if you know what I mean.

There's an angry MPC posse outside his chicago house.

It's a long story.
One that involves time wasting dips who 'definitely want' the stuff I'm selling to have cash/space for the RS.
But the dude's still got it and holding it for me. So kinda. :p

Panic over, RS7000 ordered ;)

Well that's the whole point of them. It's a far simpler, more restricted but possibly more inspiring way to work. That is if you learn how they work.
The Electribe is a piece of piss though. I could use it without referring to the manual, although not to its full potential.

so dj
I have nothing against drum machines
I find people performing in front of them choosing patterns utterly lame.
And most dance music samples real drummers so i would disagree with your statement that the drum machine was needed.
either produce, or perform. But for the love of god realize when you combine both, you always look like a mega twat.

If you want them to sound better from an Electribe, I bet they will ;)

Are you serious?

An utterly ridiculous statement. When producers perform live, they essentially are producing, live. There are plenty of live pa's that are at least as good as, or better than, live dj sets, as long as the person "performing" knows what he or she is doing. I don't even know where you come up with these bizarre statements, honestly.
This track was produced and performed entirely live, before being pressed onto wax, and is perhaps one of the finest techno tracks out there:
But because it was performed, that must make them mega twats, eh?
