Fairlight-CMI

Nothing more to say ?? I seriously doubt that. 

 

Listen, first off, I have never compared an S6000 with a Fairlight and if I
did, it wouldn't be in the form of some 20 line synopsis based on factual
inaccuracies as you seem to offer. 

 

Many people who indulge in the "my dog is bigger than your dog" type of
arguments are usually the kind of people that know least about the subject
being argued. Those that truly know what is what, leave it at that. They
know what works for them and don't need to justify a misplaced brand loyalty
by bitching on the internet. I am a huge fan of the Fairlight and have more
experience with them than you give me credit for. You know nothing about me
or my work (although you seem to have found some of my offerings on Hollow
Sun). My involvement with the music industry is also deeper than you
probably think and therefore I can also say, like yourself, that I know what
I am talking about. I just don't need to use it as a stick to beat people
with.

 

Have I used the Fairlight gear you mentioned ? Well, I have varying degrees
of experience with it, and experience of Pro Tools and many other recording
formats too. Each have their own qualities and each are powerful and
excellent systems in their own right. In the right hands, they can be as
good as each other. Any comparison is purely and totally subjective. I have
heard better quality recordings on 2" tape than some recordings I have heard
on a Fairlight, Synclavier or Pro Tools system.

 

You said..

 

Music sales have dropped in the 90's , where was the music piracy at 
this moment ? Just observe the facts .
Depeche mode will still sells albums , they could record only farts 
and fans would still buy their songs. Only because of their past

I was a big fan of depeche mode in the past, but I don' t listen to 
them anymore.

 

Firstly, music sales have been dropping for a long while, but not because
everyone migrated to Pro Tools or Nuendo or from Fairlight to Akai or
whatever. Music piracy in the 90's was rife, just in a different way. A trip
to Camden Market would prove that. I used to go down there and pick up all
manner of bootlegs and pirated copies. It was the same the world over. Maybe
you're a bit too young to recall ?

Secondly, Depeche Mode fans DO NOT buy their material purely because of
their past. They garner new fans all the time and trust me, if they ever
made a duff album, I'd be the first to say. You freely admit you don't
listen to them anymore which completely strips you of any credibility in
your argument on that matter.

 

In closing, you make absolutely no worthwhile arguments, other than to flame
and troll. This is a mailing list for fans of the Fairlight to share
knowledge and experience, it is not a venue for individuals to fight petty
net wars from behind the safety of their computer screens. Take you
inaccurate, childish playground taunts and personal insults elsewhere if you
please.
