Re: Timing Debate

2007-05-04 by bainbrge

I think you should sell your MD because it can't keep absolute
"autistic time", i.e. the super accurate time signature only the
severely autistic care about. 

I know I would be super irritated if only I had the time to sit down
and analyse the timing errors between quarter note hi-hats. For hours.
Personally, I also think my music would be totally better if only my
machinedrum had the consistency of an atomic clock.
