RE: computer vs. hardware
I agree with K here man.....the timing on a hardware
sequencer is tight as hell because the ppqn is very low
as with most drum machines... think about it my old
mmt8 is 96 ppqn and my first cubaselite ver. on a
macplus in 1994 was 480 ppqn(have no idea what it is
today)......on the hardware units the notes fall right
in the pockets...there's no serious mutlitasking or
buffering going on... oh and no crashing for the most
part and losing tracks and your mind when it
happens...how many times has your shit freezed after
working on a track for a while and you just walk away
as it reboots and lose the inspirations in
anger....!!!!!!@@@#%!!I too check out tracks on line
and the quants are off alot or the quants are different
in the same sequence I.E. kick-Q16 snr-Q16T hat-Q32
fill-Q32T bass-Q16T you get the pisture that shit will
catch up and to a rythmic ear shit starts falling off
trust me I can HEAR IT......Computers are amazing I'm
convinced BUT this music thing is a hard beast to tame
and the artist or musican is even harder to please...I
do beleive for dance music or similar production style
music has to be spot on and should be spot on...drum
machines and HW sequencers do
