Members ApolloBoy Posted February 9, 2005 Members Share Posted February 9, 2005 I just can't stand people who go out and buy like 3 or 4 synths of the same kind and end up selling them all, and those who sell lots of great stuff in favor of something more limited. If you wanna know what I mean, check this guy out... http://www.isatellite.info/gear.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sevensinner Posted February 9, 2005 Members Share Posted February 9, 2005 I personally don't care what that guy does with his own money - it's his money and he can do what he wants with it. If buying those vintage synths makes him happier then and he feels more creative and feels that he writes better music with them , then more power to him. However, the "no computers were used" is sort of a dig at softsynths, and the fact that he doesn't use anything made after 1990, is sort of the "vintage is better" mentality that many guitarists seem to have - except applied here to synths. Ie, the constant rejection of new technology (ie the "solid state sucks" "digital modelling sucks" "analog modelling sucks" "distortion pedals in general suck" etc) is sometimes unjustified. Then again, maybe he just likes the old stuff. Nothing wrong with that folks. As for his music, it's not bad. I actually kinda like it. Hey he sings in tune, the recordings are decent, it's not really anything groundbreaking or special in my opinion. But then again, that's probably not what his aim is, he's probalby just writing music that he likes, for himself, just like you and me, and many others here do and wants to share it with the world.

Members urbanscallywag Posted February 9, 2005 Members Share Posted February 9, 2005 Gear whoring doesn't bother me. In fact, it gets to me when people make blanket statements about workflow and gear whoring versus making music. Does someone not have the right to be a collector first and make music on the side? Isn't it ok to respect the engineering side of gear and sit twittling knobs for hours on end doing nothing particularly useful? With synthesizers the ultimate goal is not always music, but experimenting, learning, and just having a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, you can say anything, but if it's informed or based in reality remains to be doubted. Would your judgement be the same if you couldn't see the owner of the gear, and why not?
