Musician's Thread
I am wondering if there are any other musicians on these forums - if so what do you play? Do you write / record music? What got you into playing music? What is your gear? I play bass guitar, guitar...

Totally agree with you on the long slow painful death of Live Music by Electronic Music! Filling out blocks on a sequencer grid, cant match the nuances that can be expressed when playing/recording live (volume, tempo, pitch, energy of the band or crowd etc). When i grew up 80's(cough), you could see live band in every pub/club 5 nights week. Now software and XFactor means the churning out of same bland repetitive noise. Feel sorry for the new generation, who dont know what they missing. ps i'd call it cheating (or taking v large shortcuts) :)
Not everyone has access to a live band though. I use sequencing for drums, nothing else.. i will play keyboard parts etc but without being able to program drums i would simply not be able to record the music i want to. Its not electronic and even the main live bands are now using drum replacement technology to improve the sound, i fully agree that a fully programmed, autotuned song is cheating but these things have their uses, especially for home lone musicians
