But at the same time, I'm all for making the most of what you have.
If you can only manage low fidelity (whatever fidelity means when,
like me, you rarely touch a "real" instrument), then bloody well stick
the lo-fi badge on it and go with it.
Windows users are probably perfectly suited to making glitch music,
for example ;)

BTW, sorry about the "sucks" but that was honest on my part. I'm comparing
to Madonna, Yello etc. Check a couple of Yello loop sets for the
excellent sound quality at

_Many_ things suck if put next to Yello.
Now this could be interpreted like you think that CD sucks
because it lacks in sound quality. Now is that what you mean?
Try being specific, damnit.
Maybe the Yello guys do not have "only" skills and many years
of experience, but also the best equipment? I don't see
online collaborations helping on, of all aspects, "sound
quality". Exchanging 32 bit float wavs over the net? Thorsten Wilms
