Made me laugh

Post by Mr Arkadin » Thu Dec 11, 2008 1:19 pm

i was searching some of the internet announcements to see how well the news was spreading and saw this comment (on a guitar site, so that may factor into it):
with as many products on the market and options including software like Reason that can essentially do everything this can do and waaaaay more for way cheaper....I don't see how anyone in their right mind would buy this overpriced one trick pony.
Yeah, that cracked version of Reason is going to sound exactly like a Taurus pedal :roll: :lol:

Sure...because Reason can be plugged into an 18 inch subwoofer, right? :lol:

EDIT- I found that site and put my two cents in! :lol:

I didn't say much..."If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Moog is the Ferrari of synthesizers." Or something to that effect.

Haha, so am I! I'm glad this is an active community with interesting topics so I don't have watch stupid videos to keep myself from utter boredom.

For anyone interested this was the link:

premier guitar

Also like the comment from charles about halfway down about 'keeping music' live' (hey it's 1980 all over again) - the post is so bad i'm not sure but it seems he's implying that a Taurus is putting a bass player out of a job(?!) He should check with Sting, Chris Squire and Mike Rutherford about that.

Check out my YouTube ad if you haven't already. It's got over 100 views and it's only been up for three days! :shock: The YouTube community rated it 3 stars. Besides, the people whining aren't in the same league as us...they don't understand, and do not deserve to be Moogers. :wink:

Everyone deserves to be Moogers!

But for some people, price is an issue. Some people just don't want to pay anything when they can get it for free.

And Reason will come close with some earth shattering bass, but to me nothing beats hardware.

I think the soundguys from the venues I've played at would agree. The bass from the Little Phatty seems to amaze them every time, haha!
Even the kick from my DrumTraks blows laptops off the stage and that's just a ROM chip. :lol:
