Re: When enough really is enough
Well said, Babz.
And while I like to think of you as "one of the guys," I think in this case a woman's view is very much needed to help dispel some of the excess testosterone that starts rising in a room of competitive people whose work habits are suddenly thrown into question. In your case, let's just say the goddess has spoken, rather than "mom says." Or we could just go back to "one of the guys." Or Shooshie could just STFU now!

Re: When enough really is enough
Agreed. I download demos of every DAW that has one. I own Pro Tools, Logic and Studio One. I hunt for the features that DP could use then do my best to suggest them to MOTU. Like Cubase's Note Expressions. What a killer feature. But I'm not about to leave DP because of that. I have way too many years invested in DP and there are things about Cubase that seem very unpolished.Robert Randolph wrote:It helps to check once in a while though. You can learn a lot in the process.Shooshie wrote:People just forget sometimes and wonder if the grass is greener elsewhere. You simply have to remind them that you've got the greenest, fastest growing grass on the planet!
Just my two cents if anyone gives a damn about what I have to say.
Mac Studio M1 Ultra, 128GBs Unified memory, 4TB SSD.
Interfaces: MOTU M2 and 8A (2.1 and 5.1 setups).
DAWs: Digital Performer 11, Logic Pro, Cubase 12 Pro, Studio One Pro.
Sample Libraries: Primary - VSL (all), Spitfire, (mostly all), and many others.
External Controllers: Metagrid Pro and Studio Logic SL|MIXFACE

Gender differences aside (which can be fascinating, and *wonderful*), let's not forget about the unique form of communication that is "comments on the Internet". It is categorically different from how we would behave in person (or on the phone … or in CARS! Why are people such dicks in cars?). The very structure of the form can steer us to say things that are both stupider than we would normally say, and, if we carefully consider our comments, perhaps wiser.

Re: When enough really is enough
I was referring to the general female gender of mankind. I don't think I could afford tickets for all of them. But Texas welcomes all ladies, and treats them special.waxman wrote:get a room... or send her some airline tickets to Texas...

Re: When enough really is enough
Um, I was thinking of the social-cultural constructs of stereotypical masculine and feminine behavior and/or personality traits and their possible biological or evolutionary basis, and how the same sort of rhetorical sparring could have arisen with any group of users communicating on the Internet, regardless of gender...
But put apparently I have vastly underestimated "the excess testosterone that starts rising in a room" of which Shooshie was speaking.

Re: When enough really is enough
Ooo... yeah, you're right!
Mmmmm... Funk!
I could use a jar of that to hold my cowboy hat on in the wind! Especially that West Wind!
Also, I've heard that:
+ Funk (1 jar) =
Wait... don't try that. Maybe it was the other way around. I just can't remember.

It’s illuminating. Who says we cannot read minds in this day and age. I’t a feature on every modern cell phone, just go to Facebook and see. Unfiltered “minds” abound.
