ten fingers ten toes Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 hardware - synths - samplers - drum machines - workstations - effects - misc software - VST - DAW - sequencers - misc. ... perhaps? I would add subsections of Instruments and Effects to VST.... Are workstations really enough of a seperate entity to warrant a new category in hardware? In actuality, I think maybe a more stremlined approach would be easier for everyone and promote more entries: Hardware: - Generators (Synths, Samplers, Drum Machines) - Signal Routing & Processing (Effects, Mixers, Amps, etc) - Recording (Minidisc, ADAT, VHS, Casette, 8-track, Vinyl (!?!)) Software: - VST Instruments - VST Effects - Stand Alone Aps (DAWs, Audio Editors, etc) But then, the more sub categories there are, the less Im inclined to look at things, so maybe its just me! I would love to write some reviews btw. I could also edit some for basic quality, although I don't have as much hands on knowledge with a broad range of gear here as others. Perhaps Logan5 or one of the Berklee bunch? (Kcinsu or William S. Braintree) would want to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten fingers ten toes Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 lol no, I was just kidding. I actually have a legal copy of Reason 2.0 lying around somewhere.. I might bust it out sometime and upgrade to 3 and try to go all combinator on people. I use Renoise mostly, though I also have FL Studio 5 and Buzz. I was also making a slight joke based on the "Luke Vibert uses Renoise" thread that's kicking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blicero Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I'm not very familiar with IPB, but i'm not expecting much from that back-end... as for categories, let's not forget studio gear: - monitors - audio interfaces (usb/firewire/etc) - rack effects » dynamics (compressor/gate) » reverb/delay » etc - microphones - headphones - midi controllers » keys » control surface - turntables - mixers (console/dj) i think the whole thing should be laid out like so... recording -hardware -software synths -hardware -software etc... and be accessible also via: hardware -synth -recording -etc software -synth -recording -etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I haven't forgotten about this guys - so you would say the basic breakdown is between hardware and software? The CMS is very flexible, so we can always add sub-sub categories if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
