the problem with this, is that someone's going to read this and go out and buy all these fancy expensive boxes and samplers and think they can be the next techno/idm/ambient god. these "anything boxes" are much of the reason why there are so many crap records coming out nowadays. sure, they're nice to have, but they don't "transform anything into brilliance" or "make incredible noises". i could replace my entire setup for less than the price of two DP/4s, and i am quite satisfied with the sounds i make. someone with talent could make incredible noises with a $100 synth or hell even a bucket and a pair of drum sticks. people make music, not DSPs. - Dan transmission 23 - FTZ - edrone - clonor the other - morpheus ii The 8-Bit Collective/8-Bit Records * US/Finland mail: eightbit@vlad.bowker.com - rkn@phoenix.oulu.fi WorldWideWeb: http://ftp.luth.se/pub/misc2/kosmic/www/8bit.html KLF/FreeMusicFoundation: http://ftp.luth.se/pub/misc2/kosmic/www/
