Emax

This is what gave he Prophet VS the amazing sound it had along with a  
couple of other things!
Man, Jammie!  You seriously know your stuff!
Listen to what this guy says folks!  I've worked with the best in the  
business and it's hard to find
anybody who knows engineering and great sound like this.

Thank you Jammie!

What would be instructive would be us discussing how we do that. And  
for some of the folks
on the list who don't have the tools or knowledge or experience how to  
step-up.

On software making one "lazy": words more true were never spoken.

I own Melodyne Studio (NOT the plugin!) and it is a brilliant work of  
genius for designing sound,
doing things with audio, synthesis, samples, and anything and  
everything one could possibly
imagine!  Unfortunately Celemony tells me that nobody is using the  
software as I'm using it.  And
what that tell me is that everybody is using their great technology  
for "note-nudging" lazy performances
and people who have no voice nor talent as musicians!  That's where  
the big money is!  What a shame!

Now look at Ableton Live.  It was once this hot tool and environment  
that was full of life and possibilities.
But there is this disease where a great company with great ideas and  
great products falls ill with and it
a disease that's all about big money where the company becomes a  
corporation and then suddenly
the creativity starts to go out of the window.

Since this is the Emax list EMU started to die with the Proteus:  that  
was the beginning of the end.  And
I have to say nobody bought their great products -- what sold was the  
Proteus.  When Creative Labs bought
them, then everything really went!

When the company become the corporation and music and art are thrown- 
out the window for profit it's over.
