Hey Josh.
I use logic too and cubase, and vst plugs. I have the DSP stuff to MAKE
synths and samplers and all that good stuff. Reaktor is good for what it
does, and will definatley give you great sounds. I really have not listened
to My bloody valentine or the others mentioned. I have been into "pure"
electronic music my whole life. The sound of acoustic instruments just bugs
me. I have heard it all before.. Elvis, BB king, the ramones, eric
clapton..its all the same. acoustic music using the same oscillators:
guitar, drums, bass, vocals.
But i think what these bands you mentioned are doing is processing thier
live instruments thru electronics, which i think is great! :)
a freind of mine in canada does that, he has a guitar, talkbox, and TONS of
effects. he plays the guitar and it sounds nothing like a guitar. That i
think is cool. I know im a bit of a purist when it comes to electronic
music, and am sort of prejudiced against "standard" instruments. I will be
the same guy bitching about my everyone using a Kyma or DSP system, and them
not using the newest and latest thing. :)
I just want to spark ideas and provoke repsonses from those that defend
"standard" instruments.
In a good way i hope. but of course when you talk about someones studio
(which they spent time and money investing in) feathers tend to get ruffled.
:)
take it easy!
