He's right. A DAW or a synth Will not provide you the same experience of a guitar. Pianos, drums and keyboards have no place in the real music industry like guitars do. You're just being a try-hard for the sake of being different...

yeah because you literally press "MAEK MUSIK" in your DAW, its not like you still have to program and arrange the music in it, and in 99% of genres you literally have to program it in such a way that there is swing/movement and not robotic quantizations....

I agree if you are on a small jazz concert at your local bar. When you're listening to a mastered, perfectly played song that you have on a CD, then what is the difference if an artist played it himself or used pre-recorded sample?

I would start to tell him that basically computer music is basically like music based on synthesizer and sampler/tape machines, which are generally not considered by baby-boomers to be "soulless machines".

As a distinguished Frenchmen of good taste, I would tell him to listen to the aural delicacies produced by the GRM with the great minds of Xenakis, Bernard Parmegiani and François Bayle, as an example of the prototypical refined sounds you can achieve if you push the understanding of this technology far enough.

And then I would tell him that the young people of this generation, who release their pieces on the Mego record label and hang around the Cafe Oto in London, are still seeking their voices in the realm of the multitude of alternate universes expressible within this medium.

Why do le computers r emotional muzak underage kids always literally expose themselves are tryhard poseurs with zero knowledge?
>>
>>65384056
To be fair, there are tons of people who when playing "live" do just press a button and play whatever they made and people think this is how it works in the studio too. It would help people get over the "computers aren't real instruments" (or synths or whatever else) if a lot of othe mainstream dance artists didn't just play prerecorded music at their shows.
>>
>>65384056
No, not really. Not at all actually. You input shit and it comes out without you having any effect over its physical sound alteration. And yeah it comes out flawlessly to whatever you put in


You underage fags will the end of creativity, the electronic artists worth a damn are 1/10 billion compared to the rest of shitty boring bleeps with no emotional or artistic merit behind it

You know that with analog synths the person playing the synth has full control over the waveform of the music right? I'm not quite sure how digital synths differ from this but it's no more "press button get sound" than a guitar is "pluck string get sound".

>mainstream dance artists

key word there. electronic artists do play entire live shows all the time. well not EVERYTHING is live, but then, comparing a rawk show to a bleeps show is retarded. rawk is (loosely) about how tight the band plays, the musician's ability to play their instruments, etc, bleeps/electronic music, its all about sound design / mixing / improvisation. I mean, it would be retarded for a producer doing a live show to physically play a sequence on the keybiard instead of simpling triggering the loop/sequence and then he can focus on playing with the sound and whatever else. if we were to follow the same way rawk shows are, there'b be a guy non stop banging pads on a drum machine, another guy on the bass synth, another on the lead, another on the counter lead synth etc etc retarded and expensive

that's what I tried to explain to my boss and he just didn't get it. and he isn't the only one
>>
>>65384164
Again, no not really. They input the music and the computer churns it out. Itll come out the same every single time and will remain robotic and unaffected by the musicians current mood or feelings. Objectivism is not emotional you dumb fuck

What do you mean by "unscripted" ? It's always zeros and ones.
But when you use for example 24 of those 0 and 1 to yield 16777215 possibles values of voltage 44100 times in a second, you can generates some good sounding shit with a computer, and that will be rarely corrupted unlike analog stuff which is sensible to physical shit (e.g. temperatures, method of playback).

Computers can, however, emulate whatever their owners tell them to quite accurately. Computers are only vessels into which you pour your mind; that's kind of what computer programming is. Take your thoughts, pull them out of your brain, shove them into a computer, let others experience your thoughts via the computer. Same goes for electronic music. It's not that the computer needs to have any sort of attitude on its own, but rather what you put into it that allows you to really open yourself up in an authentic, organic way and let others experience it.
Or, you could use it to make dumb pop music.
It all depends on how you use it. It's a neutral medium. Just like a guitar.

Analog synthesis isn't processed through a computer, filters and gates on a synth (that change it from a basic sin wave or whatever to an actual sound with decent timbre) is literally the equivalent of choosing the strings and having fuzz boxes or wah pedals and shit
