M.A.R.T Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 nord is cool....but if i had a budget. id go for a cubase set up.sampling all the sounds into a vst sampler and running a few midi channels from master controllers..you could run a whole band (including drums) all on one program into a stereo pair.each midi channel could have great keymaps. you could mute the keys you dont want on. dump in specific sounds to the certain keys.and then you just change the song settings and youve got a whole other bunch of vst stuff to pick from.it wouldnt be that expencive either. just a good sound card and a few master keyboards and drum pads.its the future i tell you.unlimited sound!

Mad eh?Okay I sometimes begin to sing baa baa black sheep and make pirate noises at practise... but I'm not that mad... Oh wait... Dan... gotcha I must admit our random jabbings to create, scrap and re-create is a fun method of making music. meh, different things, different people...I'd probably be up for trying some computerised stuff, but in a different project me thinks. Then I get the best of both worlds.Le Shocks, Le Madness, Le Chaos, and Dan's hair.RAWK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix alcohol and I'll dance too. I'll dance my merry dance.Oooooooh yes.I bugsie wearing the bandana!Although saying that, Del, Dresden and a smidgen of influence from an Ex taught me all that I know (not much).However, I do look good with the shocks gear on... not being egotistical, but I do. So if anything, I'm an excellent stage prop. Gaffer tape is acceptable, as are slick hair do's and much hair spray.... clink clink.(Btw Steve, Mel has offered to be gaffer taped to a chair as a stage prop for the moorings gig - should we need her. Though she's requested being plonked next to me. What is it with people liking the idea of mixing me with gaffer tape?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
