i agree. i think a lot of the "problems" with idm come from the aphex twin
quote "oh i just fuck around with it a bit" (ok, he didn't say that
exactly, but he's known for saying that a lot). many times over on the
idm-making list, people say that "oh i took this sound and just sort of
fucked with it a bit," which is nice 'n all, but it does lose a lot of
focus. i think that's the difference between dsp-wankery and songs that
work. cos i know plenty of songs that work really really really well that
have a ton of dsp editing, but it's done so well that if it wasn't
intentional, the maker(s) did a *very* good job of making it sound intentional.
so maybe instead of saying "don't use dsp", the mantra should go "don't
just fuck with it" :D
and i mean that in the least-offensive way. honest!

Alice could not help her lips curing up into a smile as she began:
"Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too! I
never saw one alive before!"
"Well, now that we HAVE seen each other," said the Unicorn, "if you'll
believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?"
