don't argue with me. i'm right.

You have never been more right.
I suspect it sucks because I can't figure out how to use it to better my recordings, but whatever, it sucks.

do yourself a favor and just ditch it now.]
this is what i'm talkin bout: http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11317
I read the first 6 or 7 posts. I refuse to read any further.
Get a drummer, or better yet, a drum set, learn to tune it, play it, mic it, record it, and be done with it. In the years that it takes you, you'd still be figuring out how to configure your nerdy midicrap.
Maybe you're just too stoopid to use midi
nah, i've been using midi since way back with my sr16 and midi keyboard. it sucked then and it sucks now.
So maybe you was stupid then and still stupid now
Hey I'm just pulling your chain dude...
However, when you're talking digital, what comes out is never what goes in. It's all quantised.
I've never had a problem with midi. And I can't play drums, afford a drum kit or have space for one, so I'm stuck with MIDI anyway...
Not that it matters with my mediocre (at best) guitar playing it all sounds like crap anyway
yep, you were right.
I downloaded a free soundfont of a rhodes a little bit ago, and it sounds great.
That's all fine and fucking dandy, but trying to get my keyboard to record the midi notes is slightly more complicated than shooting those rover buggies to Mars.
WTF? If they'd make it to where I could buy a midi cable, plug it in to my keys on one end and one obvious spot at the other end, then press record, and have something even close to Rhodes sound instead of just another error code or some bullshit, it would be great.
If we didn't have midi, someone would have to invent it. And not to be touchy or anything but isn't that like saying fonts suck?
You're drunk. Chime in tomorrow when you're sober. You'll just confuse things.
All right. Fine. I don't know wtf I'm doing, but I've never met a nerdy midi kid that could explain it clearly enough get it to work so I'm going to have to blame them.
midi is great if you use if right.
I love using midi for demos.
It's perfect if you just need some ideas down, QUICK.
Like 10 minutes ago. I put down an acoustic guitar track, and a vox track. Then I added bass, drumset, rhodes, and a hammond b3 soundfont down with midi, and I love it! I love it all works together. My point is, while it may not sound as good as the real thing, it gives me a great idea of how it will sound like.
And even when I am seriously recording, midi definitely has it's great uses. While some things just will never sound as good as the real thing, some pretty much do in my opinion. People say there's no rhodes sounds out there that sound like the real thing. This is NOT TRUE! I've owned 2 rhodes in my life, and have tinkered and cleaned, repaired, and even completely disassembled them, so I have a very good idea what they sound like. I downloaded a free soundfont of a rhodes a little bit ago, and it sounds great.
There are certain string sounds that sound very realistic also, and midi is also great for things like bells and stuff.
Of course, most instruments just can't be easily sampled and played back through midi. Piano sounds still don't sound like the real thing, especially the few octaves between middle C and the top octave. Violins always sound cheesy, and of course guitar sounds are always horrid.
