    I really love this style. Do you sell them? If so, could you PM me?

    I bought a lot of the Fief tapes, as well as a few others. I don't really listen to them at the moment, but the time will come. I think it's such an interesting idea.

    I'd still eat it man, I'm a dog. "Guttersnipe" added to the vocab.

    We need to ban this topic, I want a kebab every time I see it

    Is it a real 707? It looks like it’s brand new! I’m envious

    Beautiful 707. Fun of character! What's the 303 looking thing?

    It's the most versatile synth I've ever owned. It's my go-to recommendation when people ask me what synth to buy. Wonderful thing

    I think this was taken when I was in at the middle of the slums in Romania (or somewhere near). I like it because it feels cold and imposing. Some of the artwork in this thread blows me away - a lot of talent here!

    Personally I would say to opposite. The bassline, especially with the delay, sounds harmonically awkward to me. I think the chord stabs need a little more articulation and less reverb. Twinkly synth is cool, as is the delicate little kick drum attack. I'd like to hear it without the bass. Great title!

    As someone who has spent a lot of time in China; to think that something like this will be their responsibility to contain and resolve is very frightening.

    Ah, ok. I think we've found the main point of our disagreement. I love how it sounds, I think in many cases it sounds better than the original stuff (likely because the components aren't aged). It is a very subjective thing though. Regarding copyright law, most of the designs are too old for it to be applicable and i think it's huge oversight that the original manufacturer never reproduced them before that. Also, there's very little in the design (excluding aesthetics) that you can really hold as intellectual property. They are all applications of filters and oscillators that are likely 100+ years old.

    I agree, but don't tell them that! ?

    Ok, then I’ll assume that whatever Trump does you’ll have a problem with. I provided what you asked for, and now you’re directing your reply not towards my argument. I made my point, with my citation and the next thing you say is condescending “buddy that’s how debates work”. It’s not a logical fallacy, I was trying to ascertain if it was worth having a discussion with you. If you can’t concede to Trump having any good policies then why would I involve myself with a discussion? I could certainly point out the policies of his I don’t like, but that’s because I’m not invested in a fan club. Surely that resemblance is intentional? Starfleet was about discovery and peace. I think it’s quite a nice idea, and certainly better than some intimidating, industrial like design.

    You said “not illegal or even wrong, just capitalism. i don’t like it, but that’s my opinion”. You can see how I was confused. What is exactly shit about the gear? It’s quite literally my occupation to understand the manufacturing quality of electrical gear. Have you ever use the original 808 or 303? Now those have quality issues. They are below the level of children’s toys. For the record, I’ve opened my Behringer 101 rip off to modify it and I couldn’t believe the quality of the components in there. It would appear to me the Behringer are saving money by having access to good factories and mass production techniques, not low quality components. There’s no way any western company would knowingly manufacture something poor quality - the warranty cost would kill them. Thats right, I can’t see a downside. They are cheaper than the originals, more reliable, easily available and better quality (in the cases I have seen). I don’t give a fuck about the old vanguard. There are no sacred cows in electronics.

    Whoa, you have missed the mark with this. Someone criticising capitalism for giving people what they want does not have an argument. I'd ask you to read my post again rather than posting jpg which aren't at all related to the discussion. So please tell me what was implied when you said "B are trying to be Walmart of the synthesiser world". Because to me, that says they are selling cheap synths to those who want them. The barrier for entry has been lowered, we all benefit. I'll break it down for you as I see it. Your example was: "... but in the design decisions that went into the final product, how it allows for its users to use and abuse it to their own ends that makes it unique and interesting and markedly distinct from any number of similar machines." Yes? And my response is to tell you that the Behringer stuff actually has new control sets and features which compliment the old designs. Thus this particular argument doesn't work. So they are not just rehashing old designs (in reality, I don't see anything wrong with that) but are improving the available features on them as well. It takes a new level of snobbery to shun a company looking to sell cheap synthesisers. I can literally see no downside.

    That's really impressive. I don't know the original, but that was a very haunting piece of music. Is a Pedal Steel the same as a slide guitar?

    I think you are trying to be difficult and in fact are trying to hold me to a higher standard since you may not agree with my view. What sources would you be happy for me to cite? I think that regardless of what I was to reference it would not be taken with authenticity. Here is an example, in Arizona an illegal immigrant is about 140% more like to be convicted of a crime (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3099992). A focus on reducing the number of illegal immigrants surely reduces the overall crime rate for the citizens of Arizona, no? There are a number of Trumps policies that reflect this but if I had to isolate one which demonstrates this, it would be "detain all illegal immigrants until they are deported" Now, could you please point out some of Trumps policies that you agree with? This will make sure that you are not blindly partisan and are in fact reading policies rather than being in a 'fan club' of sorts.

    When your parents both go to jail, the kids are fucked. It's how it is. Ask yourself though, what kind of parent would take the risk? Illegally entering a country, with your children knowing what the consequences are. I am un sympathetic of the condition of criminals. It's a shame that a child has to suffer due to the actions of poor parenting. Do you think we should let it slide because they're breaking the law with children? Or give them better condition to incentivise them to do so? South America is fucked. It is not a fault of the US that gangs flourish there. Believe it or not, I see south Americans as equally capable as the people in the US. They are responsible for sorting out their own issues - illegally sneaking into another country is not the way to do that. There are legal ways to enter the US. That's what I took the implication to be. English is not my first language, but I can't see any other way to read that. Who is he racist against? Blacks? Everyone who isn't white? I don't get this at all. We need to learn to separate policy from the personality. No one thinks Trump is a likeable, nice man. That doesn't mean I don't like his policies. Shit! I've been rumbled! ?
  19. 714681746476436
    So anyone who like Trump is racist? That's the argument you're taking? I'll remind you that sentiments like this demean actual racism. You are eroding the severity of the word by using it in such ways. Also, who said that immigrants aren't white? Why do you assume immigrant = ethnicity other than 'white'. Weird.

    You both understand that policies take a long time to have a tangible affect. Both trade an immigration policies will take a number of years to show a benefit or decline (especially trade). There's a lot of hysteresis in a large economy. However I believe the deportation of illegal immigrants (I can't believe didn't exist before) as well as increasing standards for the admission of refugees and asylum-seekers both lessen the burden on the American people. These are policies that most 1st world countries employ, and for good reason. As for trade, the 20% tax on all imported goods seems like a very good idea to level the playing field among Americas main competitors and Refocus government spending on American infrastructure rather than globalism makes a lot of sense to me. There's hundreds of policies, you can't possibly tell me you disagree with them all? Let's be clear here. There is a stark difference between an immigrant and an illegal immigrant. I see US press and news failing to make this distinction frequently. No one has an issue with legal immigrants other than their number having to be controlled and the quality of people being vetted.

    thanks for clarifying
  22. 714681746476436
    Thank you, but I understand the phraseology of 'god-tier'. I, like everyone else, await the outcome of the impeachment trial. Also, just to nit-pic, tier does not define level. They are synonyms.
  23. 714681746476436
    That's correct, I made a generalised statement. I didn't realise you actually wanted me to quote specific polices to you. Also, you never asked me for further clarification, so the snarky remark isn't called for. My apologies for having a differing political opinion to yourself. Do you want me to go through them all and state my opinion on each one? I'm not sure what you're looking for here. https://www.politiplatform.com/trump
  24. 714681746476436
    Really? “god-tier corrupt” and “the worst nightmare of the constitutional framers” isn’t hyperbole?
  25. 714681746476436
    It’s exaggerations like this that are self defeating arguments. I don’t believe any politician isn’t corrupt, but by overstating and exaggerating arguments Trump’s detractors end up polarising people who may have actually agreed with them
