Sound Design

2009-07-14 by ss

Hi Everybody.

I just want to thank everybody for their comments on this list and I  
really appreciate
all of the email I have received.

I seem to be seeing Ableton and Native Instruments "at war" (shall we  
say...!) with
one another.  Live and Kontakt are both sampling instruments after all.

It is disturbing to see, I must say, products like KORE and its  
controller and the "layering"
of samples from the different NI instruments compared with my simply  
working with my
Emax and Alchemy on the Mac Plus!  :-)  I was able to do so much with  
that setup!  Now
I see "KORE!!!!" and it seems to dumbed-down in terms of sound  
design...  "Maschine"
is really disturbing.  Why not just use iTunes!  LOL!!!  ;-)  (I know  
-- there's more to it
than that!)  :-)

There are still plenty of things I can only do in Alchemy that I  
cannot do in any other
environment.

Anybody else have any thoughts along these lines...?

Jammie:  You said you felt that the NI sampler made things easier for  
people and it just
drove me insane!  :-)  I never got Kontakt (or however it's spelled!)  
working on my computer.
I hated it!

But it seems like everybody really is dumping their sampling hardware  
and moving to the
computer as their sampler...
