Members droolmaster0 Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Originally posted by Plastic Baby I find, by sitting in a very quiet room for an hour, before turning on a synth, i'll appreciate silence so much that when the music process begins i'm finely tuned into a wider spectrum of sound. Some of us wish that you would learn to appreciate silence a little more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EerieDreamZ Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Originally posted by Twilight Drone Re: A huge list of overlapping synths I posted before. In my opinion, amateur musicians, like myself, gather many synths not necessarily because they know they will use it wisely and effectively to their full potential. They rather have some aspirations which may or may not lead to some good use of the instruments. It has more to do with fascination and exploration than consumerism. Not that I have many synths, just one, but if I had more room and money I would buy some more synths, to experiment with layering and to develop techniques to play them all at the same time. Well said Not that it matters to PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DarkPlace Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 If man was not supposed to have multiple synths god wouldn't have given us MIDI. There are definitely people I've come across (even me in the past) that have bought another synth before fully exploring/understanding the potential of existing pieces. On the other hand even amongst the VA's there is a enough difference in their abilities/specialities that owning a couple of VA's is not a cause for worrying about 'overlap'.

Members Sinner6 Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 I just noticed this thread has no analog filter. That's it, I'm hawking it on Ebay to fund a better thread. I don't care if I never used this thread to it's full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Awake77 Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 I heard another thread on a thread demo site that sounds better than this thread. I MUST have that other thread in order to be a better forum poster.You know, playing synths isnt just fun..BUYING them is fun too!! You know you just all love the process, the research, pouring over demos, staring longingly at pics on the web. Listening to your old tracks and thinking "I wonder how it would have sounded with synth ________". The excitement when you finally win the auction or find that crazy deal at the local music store. Coming home from work and seeing that big ass box from UPS leaning up against the house...the packing peanuts all over the kitchen, then finally getting it hooked up and that first glorious note.........damn I gotta get me another one!!!

Members Yoozer Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yes, and it also has nothing to do with collecting synthesizers.http://tinyurl.com/3rfnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yoozer Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 Originally posted by Plastic Baby Of course it relates to synthesisers, it relates to all forms of collecting. In what you quote it discerns between obsessive forms of collecting and "normal" collecting. ...and the behavior was classified as abnormal if the collection was extensive; the collected items were not "useful" or aesthetic. Synthesizers do not fall under non-aesthetic. That they aren't used by the buyer for the time being is something different from not being useful. 300 fridge magnets aren't useful, a synthesizer is. What I'm reading into this thread is that you're trying to rationalize your message by quoting research. Your method could use a lot of work, though.

Members µnominal Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 Originally posted by Plastic Baby I might answer your questions, i already have a reply to your list, but you'll have to wait, i have to think about whether it's really worth replying to a new member who already chose to reply to a point yoozer made and also leaves a link that refers to a trap Oh, of course, my mistake then. I thought you would actually be interesed in a sensible and rational debate. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yoozer Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 Originally posted by Plastic Baby I think what you're really saying ( i could be wrong ) You are. Those constraints are not put up by me; if you want to use this research in a sensible way, you'll have to obey the scientific method. Merely thought-provoking is just not enough .

Members CardioGram Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 that 'darling of the forum' thing is weird. if we reassure you that you're our collective darling will you feel better and get out of the 1-topic rut? heh. if you 'true motive' is to provide the online thread equivalent of a little "stress-toy" that you can squish thump against the desk for fun.. perhaps you're on to something.

Members Tony Scharf Posted July 13, 2006 Members Share Posted July 13, 2006 Originally posted by Plastic Baby A questionnaire completed by a close family member was used to identify problematic collecting and the behavior was classified as abnormal if the collection was extensive; the collected items were not "useful" or aesthetic. so, do you propose that synthesizers are neither useful nor aesthetic?
