RE: Roland - emulate or innovate?
Influx, protools is moving slow, I am just getting caught up with my old debt. I should be on track by end of summer with the PT.I think i'll be plenty happy with Cubase sx. I may just wait a until PTmix24 is much cheaper next year.
Even the juno was the japanese answer to the prohpet5. The 303 was pretty out there. I have to say it was inovative, but there were allready other accompanymetn devices being made, drum and bass. What the 303 bcame was just a fluke. Look at what is coming out of China now. Damn good mics. I got a studio projects c1, thing sounds so damn good. But as usual, it's a knock of the Nuemann u87. As for automobile development, that is funny, most Japanese asthetic designers go to the school in cali to study , and the engineers are prodominantly educated here in the states. I saw a show on the dicovery channel with he head of Nissan talking about how they develop new cars. American ideas influence them so much, as well as European philosophy and engineering methods.
and to end, Realrtrance, you make it really easy to prove a point when say stuff like this
"Where were all those brilliant American dim bulbs when the Japanese saw fit to license the work being done at Stanford? "
last I checked, Stanford wasn't in Japan!
they took an idea or concept from somewhere else and made it theirs. It's what they do. They rarly take on the role of vangaurd in a market segament(very smart) and instead learn from the mistakes of the early entrees and come in with a better product at a lower price. It's not racism, it's Economics on a very academic level.
