yes, its a stupid trap. i remember those weird opinions coming from
drum´n´bass scene saying that you can only make drum´n´bass with
a tube compressor. and for mixing there was only mackie. geee... that
was lame .. :) now, they´r all using computers and got uniformed beats
trackers are cool. i am gonna use an atari 8 bit comp for my album tour
in 2005
for the visuals.. i am tired of slick mac / pc dither and flash
esthetics... strictly
no 3D or textures...
