Me too, that is genuinely amazing.
Do you think that hip hop forums have to put up with new users asking how to be J Dilla week in week out?
Call me sad, but I was genuinely interested in what kind of other crazy shit he wrote, like in his status' etc (or would that be 'stati'? Lol), so I added him. Had a laugh correcting him on a few other more funny comments. He turned out to be one of them guys who gets people to take pictures of them while they're posing looking thoughtfully at their MPC, or with their feet up on a mixing desk that they clearly have no idea how to use, and isn't theirs either. The term 'all the gear but no idea' sprang to mind haha.
I think another comment was like 'digital is shit its all about analogue blah blah blah' to which i replied something along the lines of 'tbh the music industry and a lot of bands and artists would not have come through too well in the last 2 decades if it hadn't been for things like being able to track digitally to Pro Tools/ Logic/ Cubase etc, recording to tape is fucking expensive you know right?' Then he said something like 'no one makes real music anymore they record a piano player in a room and then put a fake reverb on it to make it sound like a live recording'. LOL. I did point out to him that recording a piano player in a room IS a live recording anyway, not to mention 'fake' outboard reverb like the lexicon pcm91 doesn't get moaned about much at all due it and its successor models being some of the most popular reverb units in the industry/ world. I don't know many people that still use actual mechanical spring or plate reverbs in this day and age lol. I also mentioned the fact that convolution reverbs use real impulse responses recorded from actual spaces to influence the sound and response of the reverb. I think that one went over his head though, he said 'what the hell is an impulse response no one knows what you're talking about. I thought the statement 'no one makes 'real' music anymore' was a little rich coming from someone who sample's other people's music into his MPC. He deleted me in the end.
I'm sick of fake reverb. Next time I want a nice big sound on a lead synth I'm going to re-amp it into St. Pauls Cathedral, get some real big reverb on it. LOL.
