Well there are very few valid patents for analog audio circuits these days, so yeah they are free to copy a lot of stuff. Doesn't mean I have to buy it. The stuff I make is cheaper than Behri anyway
I have to disagree on cheap cymbals though. If you buy Behri to save money for good cymbals, that is a worthwhile trade. Cheap cymbals are just not worth it, that is if you intend to record them.
Sure, msHil, I'm with you:
nobody "has to" buy anything.
I wouldn't record brass cymbals either, but not everybody records. I know, it's the recording forum, but I was just making a point. Some people just like to play. Actually, I would even dare to say, that if you hand-pick a cheap cymbal (find one that you like, they differ considerably, I don't even like many expensive ones) PLUS you have a lot of control when you record, I'd say you could make a useable recording on a budget. A home recording. But I'm not recording
so if they're free to make copies, amen, I'll buy them! If I save for expensive gear, I'll just be paying for their R&D on future expensive gear I won't be able to afford! Where is the logic in that?
