808 State Discussion

Depeche Mode's 'Exciter' used a lot of soft synths including reactor... I think it was a good balance with the vocals and some smattering of guitar. One could tell the song writing aspect was still there... and with Mark Bell at the helm the learning curve was prolly lessened.

w0w a reply from the master himself (excuse my worship but you have inspired me musically so much) Yup I just don't think you can replace the hardware. All of these soft retro synths copies are based on the soundwave of the synth. This for the most part successfully reproduces the synth but they're ...

How does everyone feel about soft synths? I think their potential is vast but it's also pretty cold sounding. Which is funny because most of the synths I own are digital (guess you still need some of the hardware). Just wondered how 808 felt too (and the board). Like BT and Madonna's new stuff sound...

David... I thought you had stopped posting on this subject :) What country are you from? I can produce a similar list although I could debate endlessly on some of things on your lists they're simply not true (please I don't want to see your sources). If you're so brilliant with politics why don't yo...

Ahhh yes I've been to the festival formerly known as DEMF (it has switched promoters and thus names) several times. It was amazing to see and walk within the massive sea of people. Each year they have had more than a million visiters over three days... so each day approx 333,333 ppl were there and m...

Well said. There are men that have too much power and abuse it. Unfortunately sometimes the only way they can be overthrown is through conflict. They doen't respond to peaceful rallies. When I find the time I'll try to get a hold of Michael Moore's book to see where you are coming from. Although the...

Sounds like a great idea... we have an awesome Butterfly garden here at the Detroit Zoo... have you thought about contacting zoos to help spread world peace?... they would be an ideal place to hold events and reach mass people.

Dr. Walsh, also yes the US government did essentially ignore all of the world protesters. But I have a question for you. Would it have been better that we left Iraq as it was under the oppressive dictatorship of Saddam Hussein? A life where hundreds of thousands of people have disappeared and most l...

Dr. Walsh, No I haven't read any Michael Moore... I don't place much political value in views from a disgruntled laid off factory worker (He is from Michigan the state in which I live, he started his "political" conspiracies after he was laid off... fight the power!!). But I will try to re...

David, I don't hold your personal views against you... all of my best friends HATE, DESPISE, would like to kill, Bush... and we get along ok. I think we're just adding some spice to the 808 BB. Plus I like to hear what others have to say and debate so then I can see how strong my stance is. It chall...

Dr. Walsh, The 27 years thing... that was directed towards David (read his post above). The war as an outdated concept was directed towards your post. Dr. Walsh I agree with a lot of what you say... if you read the whole thread (actually I wouldn't want to if I were you or anyone :) ) you will see w...

Damn you guys sound like communists... or socialists. Am I to understand that in the last 27 years the most depressing thing that happened in the world is the war in Iraq? Where were you when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979-89 where 14,000 Soviets and 1,000,000 Afghans died (yes that's a mil...

From the beginning of time until the end?

Big bang to armageddon?

This is what it sounds like to me...

ohhh thank you sooooo much Ancodia!!!

Must commit to memory... much better than mine!

bump...

well I'm glad I'm not the only one who must be mumbling utter nonsense while singing along....

I strayed from your ass to my head...

somebody put an end to the voices in my head... please!!!
