Interesting; I've played extensively live and on tape with and without percussion, and haven't ever received a complaint about unintended "slowness" or perceived it on recordings. If I put in a slow or atmospheric loop on one rack, a somewhat faster rhythm track on another, and then duel it out on the third loop with the live instrument, there's a whole depth of speed and sound going on. >I don't know, it's just people told me first I >couldn't go out and play a solo electric gutiar show by myself, then I >couldn't use a drum machine, I couldn't loop, I had to use midi,I had to >have a band, I had to play this kind of style, I had to cnform to this >style >of writing, had to have long hair, had to....screw all that, I am happy >with >my musical progress and will continuing doing what I 'm doing, even with >drum machine. I've gotten similar statements over the years, from before I even started playing seriously. Then again, I still don't use MIDI; I still don't use a drum machine; I don't play any particular style, and in the end, I just make what I want to make. The difference, though, I suppose, is when one asks for criticism, and gets it, where to go from there. == the Reverend Rob ICQ: 1280871 http://www.realm-of-shade.com .`. .`. .`. .`. http://www.qblh.com ================================================================= "I prefer not to kill people, but I'd like to destroy as much property as possible." - Grace Slick, from the Airplane FBI file ================================================================= http://www.reverendrob.com : feedback and echo MP3s
