. . . amazingly well put, Eshy.
Helix, you closed the thread way too early, and honestly that came off as just making sure that the point that you agreed with was the "last word." That's kind of a dick move.
I think that we can keep this thread going as well. BUT LET'S KEEP IT CIVIL, PEOPLE. This should be a discussion, not a flamewar.
. . . as for me, I personally ascribe more to the first opinion that Eshy laid out. I come from an orchestral background, having played viola in my high school orchestra for the entire time I was there, and absolutely LOVING it. (I need to pick up my viola again, really.) Although I do plan to learn more about synth creation and making my own sounds, for me, the most important part of the music isn't the sounds that make it up but the notes and chords that are played. I care less about painstakingly crafting a unique synth and more about sweeping people's emotions with suspensions and 9th chords. (LOVE. THOSE. NINTH. CHORDS. OMG.)
The way I see it everybody has their own priorities when it comes to making music, their own strengths and weaknesses. But it doesn't give anybody the right to tell the other that they're WRONG for their preference. |
