Do you really buy that expensive recording software?

[pacman9000]

Oh, I do, but that doesn't mean everyone is entitled to Cubase and a Wavelabs bundle. And really, not everyone needs it, either, even people who record.

so the corporate drone who goes to work in a suit and tie and conforms and kisses the bosses ass is entitled to the software, but the creative musicians who grew up poor and is not physically capable for conforming to societal standards is only entitled to foodstamps?...not music recording software.

^that's going to make for some sh1tty music, unartistic commercialism...speaking of sh1tty music, most of the newer stuff is unimpressive...is their a link here with corporate policies not only in the software industry but the music industry as well.

 

[beezelbubba]

It is a good thing to pay for the software you use.I don't care either way, though.
With all the great freeware and shareware shit out there, if you pay more than a hundred bucks for software, you deserve to be ripped off!

High-end software is what I meant. Not everyone needs it.

Not at all, derwit. Clarifying.

 

[talontsiawd]

actually you seem to think there is actually something wrong with giving foodstamps to people in poverty, you must agree with Bush jr who actually cut foodstamp and other social service funding by the largest amount since the reagan years, in a time of increasing poverty among americans while the rich sit back and get richer thanks to this monkeys tax cuts.

Where did i say that? Just curious. I know that i personally take time out of my life to volunteer to help people who don't have the ability to make money. My dad took a 2/3 cut in his annual salary to take a job that helps reintegrate the homeless back into the work force. So to make an implecation that i just talk from some high horse is just you thinking the world is against you man.

Not everyone wears a suit and kisses ass. I know I don't. I dress like a scruffy motherfucker and swear at everyone. They kiss my ass because I'm good at what I do.

I certainly wouldn't kiss your ass boy.

You're only good at some of your job because the best trained you

Meh. You ain't fired me yet. That's good enough for me

Remember your review is coming up

Nah you are a good hard worker. You don't drool over someone in the same area of desks (but not in your team) all day.

Correct. Beause I have my unrestricted broadband machine for that...

There's a big difference between EATING, (you know, to survive?) than recording music on "professional-quality" software that you probably don't need or will ever learn how to use.

I think the government should supply free software to anyone who wants it.

It must be horrible to be so poor you can't have your own recording studio,what's happening to this country?

 

[dkerwood]

Does software even make a lick of difference? I'd think that hardware matters a whole lot more to "professional quality" sound. Let's see people download that!

music is as vital as food for myself and many others...a life without being able to express yourself through art and share with others, is no life at all....

...that's what's wrong with the united states of america, there's a war on creativity here sponsored by the right wing corporate interests...they would rather have robotic drones that strive to serve corporate interests all the while believing they are really serving their own interests...they like to keep you reaching and reaching for their version of the "american dream" but is that a dream you dreamt yourself or was that dream implanted inside your head by multinationals to make you think that helping them is the key to your own happiness.


They don't want you to dream your own dreams, they want you to be fixated on the mythical "american dream" which helps them increase profits (which is what they dream of), but it's turning out to be a nightmare for many.

 

[danny.guitar]

As far as sound quality, no, not really. Unless you're talking about processing software like effects (EQ, reverb, etc). But not DAWs.

The only other difference would be the way the software sums audio/tracks (mixes) and handles audio pre and post-fx (up-"sampling" to 32 bit then truncating back down to 16/24). And most use the same basic algorithm for handling/summing audio.

In short, no.

there's alot of people who feel that, all others things being equal, they like the sound they get with samplitude better then other software...so, would you like to dispute that?

Are they just biased because that's the program they use?

I know real player and winamp definetly sound different on my computer, real player sound better even though I like the ui of winamp over rp's.

No ones stifling anyones creativity. Yeah, some software costs a fortune, but there is some really good fully functioning audio software that you can get for free or relatively cheap. Check out Audacity or Reaper It's still possible to do what you want to do without spending a fortune or pirating.
