Oh for goodness sake, if this argument "bores" you why are you trying so hard to have it?
No one said it had to be different to be great. Doing things this way can be 100% fine. "use as little or a much as you need" yes, agreed. On Kraftwerk I thought they were their last "live" show was the best thing I've seen in years and I don't care that much how live it was. Right now, in this thread, you're not hearing the "Musicians Union" argument from anyone (though I admit it has come up on here). I don't see why "who is using this exciting new technology in an interesting way", "who's getting the most out of this gear" is being viewed as something other than a positive topic and twisted into something else. I thought the Surgeon answer was probably a reasonable bet. > From: Martin Dust [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 08 September 2008 19:35 > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Sorry to intervene and probably get things totally wrong but I think K's > > point was not so much "who's using laptops and controllers" > > but "who's doing something different with this gear" in, say, the way > > apparently RH says he is in the vid (haven't had time to watch > > it, sorry). > > > > I.e. you watch or listen to them and think they're doing something > > subjectively / artistically pleasing that would have been > > difficult before that technology existed (so hard for a vinyl DJ or pre > > laptop band to do). > > > > > My point is you don't have to be doing something "different" for it to > be great., use as little or a much as you need.
