Evening all ...
My name is Spencer Steel, im cracking on a bit - coming on 38 - I used to have an old skool dance band, back in '89, with a Korg M1, SH-101, Juno 106 and an old Akia 12 bit sampler - oh yeah, all on Atari ST with Cubase (can't remember what version)
I recently (2 years ago) got back into 'computer music' and have slowly been adding to my kit and just purchased my first Virus. It's moved on a lot obviously and very exciting.
I'm concerned about this forum though - I've read two or three threads and people seem really quick to critise around here ... I've read a thread where someone said 'if you don't know what the LIVE button does on your virus you should sell it." in response to the question 'what does it do?' - well it was me as well - I didn't know what it was ...
The next thing I read is someone helpfully posting about a PC plug that gets around limitations and he just got a load of mouth from Mac users ...
So ... let's get this out the way ... I use FL Studio. On a PC. Which I enjoy a lot. I'm worried this place isn't going to be polite to me ... FL is laughed at, and I gotta feeling so are PC's ...
It's pretty dissapointing to see - my early impressions of this site are ... HOSTILE !
Maybe I just got unlucky on my first trawl ... I'll keep quiet and stick around ... there's some good information here regardless.
Hope everyone is well - I'll up a little photo of my studio soon ...
