nobody serious admits to using fruity loops, or rebirth, or anything like that. so i don't think this is a problem. as for building your own systems & gear... not to fuel another stupid debate, but i don't buy into that; building gear should be left to people who know about building gear. it's likely a synth i'd build (or code) would suck shit. it's likely a gear builder would make sucky music. "we should all code our own sounds" is just a silly pipe dream. be original in your sound selection as you like, but you know, it's good work within some limits (i.e. using only a certain software over which you don't have 100% control). otherwise you won't even know where to go. or at least i wouldn't. -- david
