in response to Jagara above..
guilty as charged.can I do everything I do on a laptop? definitely
is it as fun? definitely notpeople spend money on hobbies.
some people have cars they only drive once a year and spend 364 days polishing and tuning. Other people get tattoos, others collect baseball cards, sneakers..
I would argue if people like collecting hardware and tinkering away at, what's the problem?
I have zero interest in being a musician for a living, or even really putting that much music out.. I do it because its a nice escape for me.. its a thing I have been doing for 25+ years and I enjoy making all the machines talk to each other.
I assume this post wasn't about me, maybe it was, I will be ignorant on that .. but given I was instantly tagged in the comments I figured I would weigh in.
I guess I would argue that at least, compared to other things people collect, I can at least creatively express my ideas using them. I like sneakers, but wearing a pair of shoes doesn't give me the same expression as making a song..
as for modular synths.. its the nerd level of an already nerdy past time.. its the I have too much disposable income and didn't buy a sportscar for my middle aged crisis
- not to mention, its all just money sitting there waiting to be sold again. need 5k in 2 days, drop some modular and bam.. solved.autoflavour
- I sense Jagara is just a purist and hates people having hobbiesautoflavour
- and to be honest, can I do everything on a laptop isn't accurate anyway.. even with emulations the quirky inconsistency of some devices just happen by accidentautoflavour
- in my time making music I went from completely outside of the box, to completely inside and now a hybrid, where its mostly outside againautoflavour
- also, ALDI laptop LOL.. brah I have 2019 MacBook Pro i9 and I am constantly pushing it to CPU overload.. you underestimateautoflavour
- well said. i don't have a shit ton of equipment, mostly reason, and it provides me with many happy hours of farting about making horriblehans_glib
- noises that everyone else finds pretty objectionable. their loss.hans_glib
- On a completely different note, @hans_glib, I've been seeing your latest posts on IG. Don't know where you are, but it looks seaside-y!Continuity
- @autoflavor I made a semi-joking comment about a very general pet peeve of mine, in a thread called "Punches For:". Don't take it so personally, dude ;)jagara
- Hey Auto, I tagged you as I love how much gear you have and I know you're massive synth geek.Ianbolton
- I don't care what people use to make their music as long as they're finding something they love and can try new thingsIanbolton
- when Shape said "All that equipment and no melody, groove, or creativity. So melody and groove are what makes good music? Nah mate!Ianbolton
- all good.. just wanted to chime in.. the all gear no idea crowd bug me also, but gotta start somewhere I guess.autoflavour
- and if im honest, its the all gear no idea crowd who then go on to sell all the gear cheaply when they realise its not for them.. so its win win.autoflavour

Dear triggered gearheads on QBN.
I'm half way kidding. I like gear. I get the fun of playing with physical machines. I myself had a physical setup of hardware sampler, effect modules, a few synths and all the cables everywhere. Only reason I got rid of most of it was lack of space and lack of money. I started 25 years ago, and produced two (that's 2) 4-track EP's, which isn't exactly prolific.
However. I just think it's a tiny bit comical, when i see people with
MASSIVE STUDIOS
filled with all kinds of exotic equipment, expecting epic Vangelis-like work that's in proportion to their gigantic setup, but:
"Can I hear some of your music?"
"Sure!"
"Oop-tss oop-tss oop-tss oop-tss."- It's all about style. Some people prefer to use a 909, some prefer to use sound waves to make their drums. Some people prefer...canoe
- to record noises for percs, others prefer a pack of samples. It's all about how the mind of the person works.canoe
- And since you're dogging the gear head about their music, but you've made your own, I wouldn't consider you a straight up dude unless you shared your tracks...canoe
- My tracks were shared here. Fussganger: EP 1 / Black Ice (on Spotify and most other services). Or Bandcamp https://fussganger.b…jagara
- Quite a bit of oop-tss oop-tss here too ;)jagara

Fun fact (and my inspiration for the Aldi laptop part):
Trentemøller: "The Last Resort was a real turning point, and something he’s still very proud of today". It was a very personal album, it was mainly just done by me on my little studio setup in my apartment on a laptop I bought from Aldi."
https://www.musicradar.com/news/…
The Last Resort is a pretty epic sounding record: https://youtube.com/playlist?lis…
- anyway... jagara out.jagara
- Aldi? Like the supermarket Aldi? Didn't know they did laptops.shapesalad
- They do. They're called Medion (apparently has Siemens parts in them).jagara
- It's not news that people make music using laptops. I don't get your beef. It's like dogging Porsche owners because they don't go to the track.canoe

My boss apparently spent $5,000 on a psychic after he got divorced last year.
- As in several sessions where she said more money would help him.doggydoggdog
- Would be fun to see if — during that time — anyone had asked for a pay rise, only to be denied.Continuity
- I can always sympathize with someone who goes through a divorce but this is where a line has to be drawn.CyBrainX
- so you punch him for that?canoe
- Yes. a punch is only fair, but an unending amount of punches for every psychic.CyBrainX
