    Unless I'm mistaken I think it was actually worse than that and individual practices were using different systems with no-one there to maintain them.

    All sorts of unified data projects die because historical databases were poorly filled in and badly maintained, despite this project managers will come in and boldly insist that a few scripts and some magic fairy dust will make everything perfect.

    Ni, I never said you didn't offer evidence, I don't know who you are thinking of. Though when I look back at the thread you certainly haven't offered any evidence in the last 4-5 comments, just semi coherent ramblings. This whole thread started when you questioned someone else's links over an issue on which he correctly he pointed out you were wrong... I was merely pointing out you are aggressive and sound slightly deranged. Your move, in your own words please, etc.

    It must take a complete lack of insight to be so passive aggressive without even noticing, maybe you're too busy being a giant heretic cloud tree.

    Do you prefer working in a sweat shop in East Asia for peanuts to make these goods? The living standard of the poor isn't significantly better beyond the fact that they "own" (really more "have in their house") shinier goods, and they are working far harder to pay for them.

  21. Re:Automatons vs performers. on Ask Slashdot: Can Digital Music Replace Most Instrumental Musicians? · · Score: 1

    I don't disagree with you but I wouldn't call that sequencing, you are actually playing it and recording it. The guitar is surely artificial (I don't have time to listen carefully to the full track, sorry). Personally I don't have a strong opinion on synthesised music, I like a lot of good synth sounds, and I don't have anything against most sampled or synthesised instruments. It is worth noting though that on sampled instrument sets you would expect it to make squeals and instrument sounds just like the real instrument because it is comprised of samples of real instruments.

  24. Re:Automatons vs performers. on Ask Slashdot: Can Digital Music Replace Most Instrumental Musicians? · · Score: 1

    I have known a few drummers and most wouldn't even attempt it, the strict quantisation of most drum machines makes it impossible to replicate any real kind of feel. I'm pretty sure there was an article in New Scientist a few years ago that showed that in certain types of music the backbeat arrives fractionally late (giving the music swing), there was another study showing that for example in a twelve bar blues the drummer will unconsciously pick up the pace as he nears the turnaround. Little things like this that many people are totally unaware of are part of the reason programming drums to sound natural is so hard.
