suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
Damn you! Why do you always have to make those shows look so easy! Very nice work! You have really mastered LSX abstractions. Ufortunately, I have not taken the time to learn the procedural tricks to get even close to the results you are getting. I am primarily using LD2000 for my abstracts, which is awesome in itself, but I need to try again with LSX. I think my problem is that I tinker with it for about 30 minutes and throw my hands up. I need to dive into it more. Eventually, I would like to get a different DAC for LSX and run LD2000 or Beyond in tandem with LSX...
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
To me, it's just about not limiting your horizons by putting arbitrary constraints on how something should be made.
Kind of like saying, if a "laser show isn't made with and analogue controller and an ion laser its crap"
Now while Lilly Allen's music isn't to everyones taste, I love nearly everything she writes. Beautiful voice and she writes stuff with note progressions in her voice that a really special that use her beautiful voice and range.
Her song Fear was produced almost entirely with a mouse. Have a look at this vid. Skip to 2:14. this is a Demo tutorial of how it was produced with Logic Studio by her producer Greg Kurstin.

To me they are both valid and I like them both. just different tools.
Here is some of Kraftwek' "later music" from 1999.

I cant remember what they used, but I remember reading about it in a music mag quiet a while ago.
They used cutting edge equipment in 1999. They were just using the new tools at hand.
I'm not trying to make anyone wrong (I like your musical taste BTW) just the way I see it, i don't care if the music came from two rocks, a 500 piece orchestra,the noise of galvos hooked up to audio amplifiers, a guitar hero, electronic circuits, aided by computers or wind chimes. As long as it moves me its ok.

I am sure that she has musical talent and knows music. I think I misrepresented my point. I have heard other really good artists who make awesome music with Reason and other software as well, but they were musicians to begin with. I was speaking more to the point of someone with no musical background who opens up Techno Ejay or Frooty loops and hashes out cookie cutter songs.
I am like this with some video game music. A lot of people give me crap about it, thinking that just because it is a video game, the music is, therefor, lame. I have the soundtracks to a lot of video games and most of them were performed by well known artists. WoW, for instance, uses Dave Arkenstone and Russell Brower, to name a few...
So, I guess I can see what you mean.
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
For good intelligent and creative modern electronic music.. Look up Shpongle, Flying Lotus, etc...
Just my two cents XD
Many people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.
