how about making music not using a computer or DAW ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps Im a little late to the game but yeah, have never actually done that route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will need a few drum machines, a bass synth, another synth maybe a few actually and yeah, to get cracking making music, but without a DAW or plugins samples or virtual instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Funny how I’ve never actually done that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see the computer makes things sound a bit off key, its subtle, sometimes i think its just me but there is definitely something to computers adding some dis-coloration to sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus what Im missing these days is the absolute immediacy of music, of conjuring up sound ! Something that is getting further and further aways these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Granted there is an attempt to bridge the gap with unified systems like ableton push3 stand alone and the latest akai mpc XL, but at some point, your a gear head, your not a musician anymore. You know eventually your completely and utterley snowed under with all of this. It gets in the way, takes up too much time and maintenance, and frankly is a bit too so possessive and interuptive and all that, as odd as it is to say such things but yeah that’s what it looks like, its what it feels like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its been a long journey since the atari ST and cubase, all the way through even until today with the latest ableton and max for live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but yeah maybe its time to get back to the absolute creative core of cranking out good music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
