That's all I want, myself.... THE WALK
We're all fed up of 'THE TALK'
The difference between what I post and what Dom posts is that I'm not telling everyone that 'I'm the future, all the rest of you are obsolete'. Were I to do so, I would deserve the raspberries I would so likely get! Most of what I've posted has been simple little live recordings of my acoustic duo. They are not studio quality performances, they are not edited, they are simple documents about what my duo, and my G70 sound like.
Unlike Dom's demos, which, for a major manufacturer, SHOULD be highly polished, studio productions to show his product off at it's best. It's what ALL his competition does, it is the game that is played. Except, he don't play it.
All he does is TALK. It's a novel marketing technique, but, at least for me, completely unpersuasive.
You want to know what really gets my goat, and why I tend to respond to Dom's comments (and HIS frequent hijacking tactics)?
Because he is the only arranger manufacturer and designer that posts here at all.
Yamaha don't come here to smack down all their competition. Korg don't come here to ridicule Roland. Wersi do not post to flame Ketron. But Dom does... He CLAIMS that everything else is obsolete, compared to his product, yet mysteriously, that NEVER translates to any kind of demo that backs him up.
Maybe it's just me... But SOMEBODY needs to stand up and say what everybody is thinking...
"The Emperor has no clothes!"
Quit insulting your customers, Dom. We are not stupid. Until you can provide demos that sound better than your competition, why waste your time (and ours) with endless braggadocio? None of us are ever going to be able to go down to our local stores and play one. Perhaps this is what is confusing you? You get to play them all the time. Perhaps you KNOW that it can sound better than the demos.... But none of us do, or ever will, based on how hard they are to find to demo ourselves. So, you have to understand that the web demos are the ONLY source of unbiased review available.
Go and listen to them again... If this was the ONLY thing you knew about this arranger (forget your entire personal experience), what it sounds like in these demos, would YOU buy one? There's a reason few of us have an MS on this forum. And, whether you want to admit it or not, those demos are that reason, pure and simple. Tech specs don't mean bupkes.. What sells arrangers are demos. Demos that ROCK! Demos that blow us away. Demos that make us go "I GOT TO HAVE ONE OF THESE!"
WALK THE WALK....
