I mean, I'm aware of that... if all my friends had to fit the superfuture aesthetic then I would not have any to begin with. maybe I've worded my posts poorly -- basically my main anxiety is finding at least a single person that I can mesh with on this level, or being surrounded by bros. I guess it all depends on where I choose to go to school, and that there's no way for me to say any of this without sounding like a bell end

so the way you made all your old friends is by going up to them and saying "do you like shopping? and clothes too?"

you jealous they stole your tshirt idea?

Plenty of respectable artists produce around the computer. Moby says he produced most of hotel on a with a computer running pro tools on OS 9 (!) Richie Hawtin has said he uses logic 7, and has ditched almost all his hardware- he should be enough confirmination that computers are getting to the point where they are necessary in the studio- in any situation.

respectable and moby don't belong in the same sentence.

That being said- if you're looking to make IDM best way to go is a really nice midi keyboard and a copy of max- and a couple of classes. Or you're looking at thousand of dollars on outdated, crusty, old analogue gear that will probably still make you sound a lot worse than todays IDM stars.

or you could just buy a computer and record on it like every other 15 year old jerkoff. i start to wonder why there is so much shitty music now, and it's because EVERYONE can make a cd. Analog vs. Digital applies mainly to what you lay your tracks down on. There is a reason why the industry standard has been 2" analog tape for the past 40 years now.

you people need to relisten to power corruption and lies.
