hey,
 a. yes I did start another thread concerning uad gear, forward thinking gear chat, and recording saxes as I hopefully found a shared interest with Presto (please tell me more dude  ) If anyone has got all this out of their system, see you in the UAD thread for some enlightened futurology. I was talking about saxes as a comparison Digi vs. Selmer, two companies that continue to sell gear based on past reputations who now need to pull their fingers out. Well, not that I care that much..  b."You are not your gear" Why are people taking criticisms of kit personally? I thought freedom of speech and the right to express an opinion was important? Yes, it's not right to poke children with sticks but aren't I allowed to poke my 001 with a big stick! This is humor and I am refering to the equipment, not the owner. If "it" stands up to criticism, it's propbably very solid. If hearing someone having a pop at your kit troubles you, I fear it may not be any great sentimentality or sympathetic anthropomorphism, but the knowledge that your hard earned dosh is sat in a companies bank account who don't give a s**t about you. I have never read a single personal criticism to another member, nor would I want to, this is not the same as a vigorous deabte on the ethics of people who want our dosh. 'I've sold 1000 of these babies' is not justification enough to add virtue to a product. Is it wise to listen to the advice of a salesman who spends all day selling stuff to make a living, or a producer/musician who spends all day pushing the kit to it's limits? c. Please read the MANY posts to this forum and others where I have tried to offer advice, as a previous experienced 001 owner, and extolled both it's virtues as a complete project studio solution for the newly initiated to mac music, and it's pifalls with lack of consistant compatiblity, customer support into the future and indeed design foresight in many cases. Let's be really honest about it's place in the market and stop pretending to friends/collegues that if you have an 001 you have a protools rig. Has anyone heard the noise on those unbalanced outputs..geeeezz! It's an outmoded idea anyway.luv Holli x ...tag! |
