QUOTE (damann @ Jul 12 2002, 18:22) you'll also find me on the digi website(by my real name) talking about how i used sound replacer on steve gadd's drums while working on 1 of the 5 albums i've made with eric clapton! ;) chill out man, i'm allowed to have an opinion and it just happens to be based on nearly 20 years of solid PRO experience. maybe next time you want to make assumptions about people in these forums, you should check out their profile... Dear Daman, I don't need or want to check anyone's profile in order to know how good they are...I usually don't check someone's resume to know if he's good or not ... In fact, I don't give a damn about resume... You've made an album with E.Clapton?... Good for you!... Am I gonna bend over and lick your boots for that?... I don't think so... The fact that you've worked with Clapton doesn't mean a thing to me... It all depends on what you've done for the guy...and even if you should have produced/recorded and mixed his whole album, Clapton's records are, in my very small/ humble/ insignificant opinion, not what I would really called "creative stuffs"...far from it (with all due respect to the great musician HE is). On the" Logic side", as I said, I was only speaking about the situation here in France (I know Logic is currently used in England). You're saying: "transfering work from Logic to tools couldn't be easier"... I'm not a Logic user, but I'm also a DP user, and I supposed you'll still get some troubles while exporting-importing from Logic to PT (due to each soft's"philosophy")->ex.: loops made in DP=>once imported in PT, it's bye-bye loops,start all over again... Anyway... the saddest thing in all that is that I'm not even a huge PT fan and that I do agree on many points with you ("Garbage in, garbage out", Digi's gear too expensive and outdated on many points), I just happen to be a user convinced that, eventhough Digidesign has big big progress to make as far as its general policy's concerned, the soft is still pretty good and can be used for the exact same purposes as the other softs: post prod°, music, creative SFX... Thus, I'm just kinda surprised by your definitive assumptions about PT. I've read your same kind of replies in many different posts (the ones were you say you have to be named Clapton to be able to buy PT... Funny now that I know you've worked for him...) and thought they sounded kinda subjective and exaggerated... That's all. It's not the tools, it's mostly the man behind the tools...as long as the tools are good enough...which is the case with PT. I'm done...as far as this subject's concerned. -------------------- |
