what do you think about file sharing of music on the net.

[Khazul]

So much for the stereotype - Im nearly 40 and am a trance producer (among other things).

Yes - I use Reason v3 on occasion, but rarely use it for trance - it has much better uses and its synths dont sound nearly as good as a virus or a v-synth, and I prefer the drum sounds of my roland v-drum kit and motif es.

I record rather than program most of what I do, treating the studio more like a live rig (but I dont play live). Most of my drums Ive recorded from my v-drum kit and then tweaked/quantised etc as needed, but I like to keep things a little real - even with trance too much quantise or programming can kill it.

Yes - of course I use arps alot, but prefer to play and record them as well rather than just draw in the chord patterns (im crap at prgramming music basically) and the odd f*ckup produces many happy accidents


Sorry if that trashes the spotty oik stereotype - personally I dont think the average spotty brat understands the point - they have never been stressed enough to need to loose themselves in it, nor have they ever experienced the big rave parties, or the big clubs and the atmosphere of those gigs. Spotty oiks might be able to do techno, acid, but not trance.
