Yes! You mentioned the cactus! I‘m waiting for the DAW- and cactusless Sessions…

Only if you’re not trying to make on-hold music!

Pfft!

Lot of lofty opinions in this thread. Either this place is FULL of professional, highly recognized AMAZING musicians in disguise, or there’s a bit of pot and kettle in here.

I’ll just leave this here…

With the swath of user-generated content and our attention economy, it’s a lot easier to focus on otherwise “popular” stuff you don’t like, I guess!

True, but I also don’t mind people poking fun at things either. I suppose I like to comment on the commentary or something.

Every thread needs a narrator

And this is why you use PARTS on Octatrack and save PATTERNS that can be replaced with other machines later.

Jam, anyone?

J3RK · 2022-10-20T20:20:54.955Z

Ok, there is a DAW IN this jam, but, it’s just mixing.

Isn’t OT some kind of Digital Audio Workstation? Some grooveboxes blur this imaginary childish line between DAW and DAWless so much, that even the greatest hipster has to admit that it is a wolf in sheeps clothing

You are aware of the fact that you just wrote this on a public forum, out in the open, en publique, in plain sight, right?!

Every thread needs a narrator

“I sat idly by as idiotic post after idiotic post appeared. One by one, each opinion growing more incorrect than the last. I knew there was nothing I could say to make them realize how wrong they were. Wrong about everything. I kept my mouth shut as they shat on Bo, poor innocent Bo, who readily admitted he wasn’t a good musician and didn’t even know how to play keys, he simply loved music gear tech and enjoyed fucking about with it and talking about it. I wondered why, why the fuck anyone would watch Bo for his music when he is obviously a reviewer. But I kept my thoughts to myself. Bo doesn’t need me to defend him. Besides, it would no doubt be a waste of time, like talking to a goldfish, or maybe talking to a goldfish is a bit more productive.”

So: you are actually Bo Beats right?

Nope, they have disproportionate animosity towards jammers too…

Love it!

I like Bo! If I want depth, Loopop or Tim Shoebridge are probably my first stops, but I like Bo, I like his enthusiasm, and I like his slightly different angle on things. In fact, I read, watch, listen to as much as possible when checking out gear. Anyway, poor Bo didn’t need that beating.

Is that:

Fuck you!

Dawless motherfuckers.

Or:

Fuck you!

Dawless!

Motherfuckers!

Or:

Fuck! You dawless motherfuckers!

Or:

Fuck you!

Dawless AS a motherfucker!

Or:

Fuck you dawless! Motherfuckers!

I made a dawless jam this afternoon, although I recorded it into a DAW, which might invalidate it. It sounded like the SFX from old Burlington Coat Factory commercials with a chord that occasionally floated up to the surface before dissolving away.

L-Funk · 2022-10-21T05:50:25.939Z

I felt fierce yesterday, today I fear the wrath of the dawless community!
