You are a dork. I don't usually say things like that on this list. But you
seem quite thoughtless, arrogant and inconsiderate. If you've ever lost
timing accuracy in your midi gear (like the way OMS degraded with each new
incarnation of Logic from 4.5 up) then you would note that the person you
are quoting is correct. A much less accurate MIDI timing yields a much
looser feel. I'd personally rather choose when I want looser accuracy. For
that I can use the humanize function in Logic. I'm not saying it was a
stroke of genius, but think about it. Carrier doesn't imply that it is the
source of musical emotion; but it is, in fact, responsible for delivering
the emotion as intended. There were many times before switching to Logic's
built-in MIDI with the Unitor8 when accuracy killed the feel of my song. It
was one of the most aggravating, music-making periods. I stopped writing
until the issue was resolved. I don't think the statement made by the person
you are ridiculing is too much of a stretch. More to the point, I think your
email was a useless insult. What better way to follow a useless insult than
with a useful insult! Yes, you nailed it when you said you were being rude.
I've thought about whether I should post this message or not, but I wouldn't
want silence to make the other person feel that your bullshit was ok with
other list members. Try to exercise more tact if you are going to contribute
to this list. If you have a strong opinion, try to back it up with more that
whiney insults. -Jer
