Well, as i posted a question earlier about sound quality, i thought i
would add my opinion. I have no money to spend on gear, and all i
have is a computer with a crap sound card and a mic. The music i've
made with JUST THAT is(IMO, i don't have outsiders opinions yet)
good. In fact, more interesting than much of the electronica i hear
from time to time. My only worry is that the sound quality isn't fit
for releasing the material, hence, countless wasted hours. Wouldn't
it be wise to spend a little more and get gear that does give out
good sound quality? The bare minimum might be good enough to compose
good music, but not good enough to release. I've never bought an
electronica CD that has as much hiss as my pieces, and if it did, i
would return it, because it is quite annoying.
