I'll be the last to insult somebody intentionally or pick an Internet fight, and we definitely don't need another full scale flame war here for at least a week or so don't take this the wrong way, but...
musicmanx, the title you started with was in all caps, which is equivalent to barging into a room and yelling it at everybody. You brought the attitude to the party, so everything that happened after that should have been expected to some extent. Except for the p.s. in your last post you seem to accept that. Posting the exact same stuff under a different name also isn't the coolest thing in the world, and someone always catches that when it happens. If you have read other posts in this forum and other forums over the last month, which obivously you have from your original comments, then you should have known what you were getting into by starting a thread off like that. All that, plus posting in the wrong forum won't endear you to people here, whether or not they are nice people in general (which I bet they are actually.) I know the VS recorders are capable machines, I have one myself, but they aren't the ultimate home recording device. Everything I've ever posted here was recorded on an 880. I wouldn't compare them to lots of expensive outboard processing gear, but more to a computer based environment with DirectX effects. Then the prices are even for the most part and the quality debate can then take place.
As for your stuff, I downloaded both songs and agree that they are good songs and that the VS machines are good for recording in a home studio environment. I understand the point you were trying to make. I posted a POD recording a while back because I wanted to see what other people thought of the tones and maybe let people here what it was capable of with the default settings. It got a different response than your post here because I approached it with a different tone, in the correct forum, and it wasn't a repost under a new name. I don't think people are just looking for an excuse to tear you and your music apart. I think they are responding in like fashion to the perceived attitude of your original post here, whether or not it was intended to come off that way.
