Re: [LAU] A year of Linux Audio revisited - would like to know your oppinion

Hi, Thank you all for your answers. i'm glad that such a discussion has been motivated. button to fix their amateurish Up to some point I would agree as far as I said.... "Learning encouragement – [...] to give you an example: On windows I tend to use one of the thousand presets a synthesizer X provided instead of trying to build something from scratch. " .... but modern software for producing music has nothing to do with some dudes clicking through presets. I don't know if you know bands like the german electronic-duo funkstörung or some bands on warp/ninja tune records. they are great musicians, i'm sure they play classic instruments but the music is nothing you can produce with normal instruments. It is completely electronic music based on modifying samples, a lot of effects etc. I think it's a bit narrow-minded to reduce musician on those who use classic instruments. the computer can be an instrument, too. http://www.myspace.com/funkstorung a turntable, as well. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friend… (john wayne on acid) bobby mcferrin doesn't need no instruments at all to be a musician. the possibilities are unlimited. in my oppinion, a classical instrument is not the criteria for a musician. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
