The more people that jump on it, the more people making tips/tricks videos on youtube etc. The EDM community majorly runs on cracked software - if Cubase dropped it’s protection then it would be far more popular. We’re dithering, compressing, and nosieng the mess out of it anyway…so hopefully it’ll sound nice in the crappiest speakers on the planet, and perhaps even ‘sparkle’ in a nice Hi Fi system that’s set up properly in a good room.ĮDM is gonna get played in noisy clubs, with crappy acoustics, through whatever racks and stacks one can get there on time, and get a good price from a stage/light/sound company. I’d much rather have an improved user macro and key-command interface, and more/better logic editors.Ī nice warm mix that should sound ‘musical’ and expose all the things I want heard, while hiding the stuff I don’t…in as many ‘listening devices’ and ‘media formats’ as possible is the goal. However, tracking a few guys with guitars, drum sets, and a babe or two with a Mic…knowing full well 99.9% of the target market is going to be listening on cheap ear buds, even cheaper/worse D/A converters, through lossy MP3 players… Hey, I get it, some kinds of sound design and hard core ‘research’ demand sample accuracy, and predictable results that can be calculated and reproduced ‘perfectly’ every single time it’s played. So we demand perfect sample accuracy at one level, then throw a triple stage tape saturation plugin on the desk to undo it. It’s also odd that a good portion of the plugins out there are dedicated to ‘muddying things up’ and making it sound more ‘analogue and imperfect’ to boot. Human ears aren’t that good…and the speakers (only the most expensive and perfectly placed/setup/powered ones can ‘begin’ to detect and reproduce such increments of precision), the intermediary D/A converters on the thousands of chips sets out there, ear-buds, ultimate listening environments tend to color/compress/lossy the mess as well.

I’m kind of blown away by the demand for this.

Making all the standard features support sample accurate automation would be one of those things
