Frank & Elle,
I have no doubt, the boards are slowly moving the way you would like to see them, in the name of progress.
I suppose my point in the final analysis FOR ME is....sometimes more and more is just too much. Tweeking, u/l'n d/ln', sampling, resampling. bigger better faster, more more more, which leads us to believe to make good music, we need more more more. I guess just a bit of future shock and progress overlaod. What ever happened to just sitting down and making some music?
