I don't understand why there have been so few people answering Midnight's call for help - and fewer who have taken his budget seriously.
What's the matter with you all. His 2 posts have had nearly 800 hits. Just because a man has proved his worth in the music scene doesn't mean he doesn't need your constructive help - he asked for it, damn it! Or do you believe Mr T when he says you can't produce reasonable album quality with a 'low' budget? Many, many, many here (particularly on the French side of the site) say Digidesign is too expensive and tries to ruin you. Now 2 Mbox/PTLE users do think you can get sufficient quality for an album with a low budget, but how many of us have proposed other set ups? Strange!! Also, does album quality mean better than most CD buyers can detect on their hifi stuff. Just a thought: I have a load of scratchy jazz 78s from the '30s and some of them can no longer be found elsewhere (my dad was a jazzman). I'm sure if they were put on a CD they would sell well, even without tidying up the sound quality. Did the original Apple team not bother to make computers because they didn't have the means of IBM? IBM didn't even take PCs seriously enough to use their means to write a good DOS. They prefered to borrow a cheap one that was already 10 years behind. MSDOS was crappy but I believe its owners did manage to make a bit of a living from it. I think many musicians with low budgets and little experience can make great music and will be selling it over the web more and more. Don't worry about your music getting pirated - that means its good. Recording studios and big labels beware! Heehee! I wonder if that puts the cat among the pigeons. -------------------- Without shit, we wouldn't be here ;)
