call me crazy, but i like to have realtime control over my music. i
really think there's a lot missing in music when the human element is
taken out of it. (i know electronic music is so far removed from
anything natural as far as sounds go, but it's about groove) missing
beat one, a loose finger on the cutoff, little imperfections in levels.
i don't know.
i guess i'm a little romantic about 'real gear'. but i just can't see
countless knobs and sliders and buttons being effectively replaced by
one mouse with three buttons. (i know you can map keyboard keys to do
certain things, which is cool, but still awkward). i mean, look at
re-birth. you've got to record in two passes if you want to use two
hands.
oh well, that's just me. i'm just all for the hardware setup. even
though it's bigger, more unwieldy, and more expensive..i think it's
really worth it for the realtime control (if for nothing else than
muting and unmuting tracks at performance-time).
but there are two ways to do it now. both make music. it's just what
you're comfortable with.
