WO WOW WOAH
OR.. is upgrading seen as some kind of anti-skill? Where you become more "elite" skill wise if you use some ancient technology. You become some kind of masochistic flagship of some bygone software era.
There was a recent issue of Computer Music, and they were interviewing Jon Hopkins.. and he was saying that he still makes all his music in an old version of Sound Forge, and he was saying how it gets the job done.. so why change it.
Is that just a case of the software becoming the process? Or is it just the utility borne from being a broke-ass musician. I feel that one, I used a copy of Jeskola Buzz beta for almost 10 years to write music with. I recently upgraded all my music writing software.. and it really shows in the end product.
So maybe I am just on an "upgrade kick" and overvaluing it?

- You are simply wanting to be current... & their is nothing wrong with that!!! ; )ideaist
