I keep on meaning to pick it up, but I'm scared that it'll be crap. I think i heardit once and it did sound pretty good, but oh-so-dumb. . > >For all the in tune, out of tune debaters...where's your reference point >for tuning? I hate this thread. But... If everything else in a piece is tuned to Western tonal pop standard, and one sample is out of tune, that could be crazy-making. Atonal music is one thing, non-western tuning is another, "tonal" is a third, but a mixture is a mindfuck (for some people). And most IDM artists at least attempt Western tonal tuning, so it can suck (for some people) when they forget about samples (although I never notice out-of-tune samples). Sam
