    what i don't get is why these guys play the stuff this way? I mean the skills are wild but to be honest it seems a lot of wasted effort....

    I can see it's more of a performance thing, and I guess it allows you to vary what you're doing on the fly, but why not record the various sections and then call them up as you need them?

    But then I'm a Reason user with no skills... but with the ability to programme. I also use ReCycle to record and carve up drum and music samples and then build stuff on top.

    • really? so there's a "right" way to express yourself through music? seems narrow minded
      ********
    • re: beatfader; the guy performing with it above is the one who wrote the software to make it work
      ********
    • so he's talented on both levels
      ********
    • no of course there's no right way... just curious as to why they chose that way. i use reason because i have no skillhans_glib
    • from my exp. i can keep a beat better with beat fader (1 handed) than trying to tap pads
      ********
    • but beat fader does lack velocity sensitivity, i like it because it's a brand new way to play an old intrument
      ********
    • like wacoms over mice or something
      ********
    • yeah i guess the lack of velocity sensitivity would make it sound more programmed, but then if you were calling in other stuff over the top it might not noticehans_glib
    • or hand drumming over the top it might not notice. and half the work is being done for youhans_glib
    • plus as mentioned earlier, you can add the midi velocity randomizer to the instrument
