Well, I had to take a breath 1st,- but now I feel free saying,- this is NOT the way I prefer composing, arranging or producing music at all.
I better go and practise playing keyboards before I learn triggering and re-aranging (pre recorded) audio events by touchscreen.
I can see some benefits from touchscreens, but not this way.
Anyway,- in my age and w/ my experience in music biz (touring and recording), I don´t need computers and software urgently to make music.
If it is Win XP or Win 10 or Mac OS8.6 -9.22 or OS X Tiger up to XYZ isn´t important to me.
I was able making music and making a living w/ it when we didn´t have any computers available as well as w/ the availability of Commodore, ATARI, early PCs and early MACs,- it´s just only tools.
Lot´s of babbling while triggering and moving audio clips w/ one finger doesn´t mean creativity to me.
I find the Bitwig guy really nervous while explaining more or less nothing b.t.w. and Thavious Beck, whoever that is, demonstrating playing a really stupid melody using a pen on a touchscreen or opening filters for a automatically running bassline by moving his fingers across that screen is really disappointing to me.
Who needs that s##t ?
Only non-players not having any music theory knowledge and lack playing technique skills.
I do the same much faster while playing more complex lines on only one outdated keyboard and record that stuff onto whatever media,- may it be tape.
And at the end of the day I didn´t edit anything.
"One take",- guys ...
Is there anyone out there remembering what that was,- in a real studio, costing XXX bucks per hour w/ a producer in your neck and printing to tape,- all together w/ a band ?
We did complete albums in 2-3 days that way,- overdubs included and sometimes the mix too.
Basic tracks one day, overdubs the other and mix the 3rd day,- and it was all released by major companies.
Well, extinct biz it seems.
I´ll upgrade to Win 10 when SCOPE 6 requires that,- other wise I´ll stay w/ Win XP, SCOPE 5.1 and innovations like BC Modular and play on my old keys.
Man, I find that computer shit so damn boring ...
