EQing Heavy Distortion

And pray tell... what exactly is "old" to you?
Why are your ages not in your info?


Wait a minute, why am I asking... I'm only 24

lol, im 19. but dont take my comment as me stating i have no respect for old people or their music. music of the past fascinates me and is the driving force behind my inspirations. with a wide spectrum of listening, i have learned that music consists of sounds. some come from wood, some from brass, some from drums, strings, voice, whatever. but just because that was all that was available technologically 30 or 40 years ago doesn't necessarily block out all other techniques of creating music. music is an artform built on a scientific base. just as in the realm of painting, some are straight forward and beautiful, some are abstract and are fascinating in a way far different than still life paintings. you cannot look at it and say "this is a..." But musically speaking, I believe just because people don't "blast it in their stereo, head-banging, yelling 'fuck yea!'" as someone so brilliantly put it, doesnt mean that it isn't art.
am i wrong?

LMFAO! You really think that because somebody was born before the first Star Wars hit the movie theaters that all we had to make music was to beat on hollow logs with bleached hippo bones? A perfect example of the myopia that's a part of post-pubescence

Eight years before you were born my buddy and I were in our first self-built project studio in his parent's basement experimenting with synthesizers (both production and kit-built), tape loops, digital sequencers, multitrack recording and editing and computer programming and control of the synths and sequencers via homemade RS232 interfaces, and experimental video music effects. We also just so happened to be about your age at the time. Electronic synthesis dates back over 50 years and is actually a couple of years older than the electric guitar and multitrack recording (even more if you want to take it all the way back to the Theremin.)

Then we discovered music.

dude i knew someone was going to throw that at me. by no means did i intend for my post to imply that i think all of the people that were creating music decades ago are biased to strictly traditional instruments. if it came off like that i apologize to those i offended, and thank you for correcting me on my dates pertaining to how far back synthesizers go.
