Part of commenting on these topics is trying to remember if I wrote about somethingthat's lost in 8bc or if I wrote it here!

I try to have three major ideas in every song. I may add more or take a bad idea away, but I normally go for three major ideas, and a handful of minor ones.

I think this music has reached a point where certain questions aren't practical for the forum, for example, all the questions about dubstep bass (answer: watch a tutorial) or get a four or five notes chord to work on a three tone instrument (arps or drop unimportant notes,) get closed immediately because it's stuff many of us have known about for years. I'm happy to answer questions about structure and harmony but there are so many styles here that it's hard to talk about that in a way that suits everyone.

The Squarepusher quote was not about presets, it was about how guitars can't play quarter tones unless you physically bend the strings with your fingers or play with a slide, or that NES and Game Boy's dynamics are inherently weak; he wishes that all listeners and critics could take that into account.

To which I say, if wishes were horses...

It's true that some of OP's red points can be completely ignored in some kinds of music, and that's okay. We have enough musical styles represented here that often what people think is good is more a matter of "I like this kind of music" than "this guy is good at what he does," which is how it should be, at least among the stuff in "releases."

This subject comes up later the same day I restumbled on http://forum.renoise.com/index.php?/top … _p__197181

All the red points in the OP can be topics in their own right.

Agreeing with Mr Swimm.

It is plausible to have short text-only sigs that disallow graphics and embeds if we want them: the advantage is that sometimes i can see the referrers in my website clicks and know someone saw something specific i said in a forum instead of generically knowing the viewer clicked through cm.o. I do like the idea of generic fields instead of making fields for bookface and twitter, because in 15 years we will laugh at them just like aim and y accounts.

I learned FT2 on a 486 with an evergreen cpu. You didn't name a motherboard either. Two soundcards is actually okay if you don't try to use both at once and set them on different addresses. Look for a GUS.

Merci, must remember that answer and figure out why my Swype keyboard keeps changing top French.
