Yeahhh! hooray to those who value their fun and freedom higher than so called "standards" made up by people who need a reason to charge big money for helping to meet them. "Oh yes, people! We invested sooo much for our professional hi-end equipment - there must be a reason we have spent all the money. Thus we and we only can make a good sounding record!" 90% of the best sounding records are made with equipment that would be called outdated today. Where were the realtime-vsts as Todd Runtgren made "Wave" with the Patti Smith Group? What about Laurie Andersons "Big Science? what about The Stooges? Get the record (I mean the real thing in black 12"), listen to "1969", "No Fun" or "We will fall" and you know how the sound of a record can help to make music a classic. Plus: set everything else aside there are 2 things that make a good record: 1.) good, dedicated musicians. 2.) enough time to do the right thing and to weed out the 2nd-best of moments. With these 2 ingrediences you can record a classic and even a top-20-hit with equipment for not much more then 1000 Euros. And with free software only. I mean it ;-) HZN/Berlin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHvFIk1Aecwva1SWMRAuftAJ48OFzg3Gx9RcsIB0qRRb3zLa8ojACcDJ6G uK6pV4scP2MwH2lrtlEJEnM= =doQl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
