Well, I would be willing to bet that my beach songlist is played by a large number of people all over the world, and that Serbian music remains mainly confined to Serbia...
OK, I play Buffett, but he's played in most countries. But I play the Eagles, James Taylor, America, Bob Marley, the Beatles, UB40. Bob Dylan, Van Morrison... the list goes on. All of whom are international stars and played in just about every country in the world (don't know about Serbia, though ).
When there's an international Serbian star, let me know...
But, bottom line... my obsolete G70 STILL sounds better than most of the stuff ever posted on an MS. You see, MY definition of 'obsolete' is something that cannot do the job it is needed for better than something newer. In my opinion, the MS was 'obsolete' the day it came out...
Look, you can't have it both ways. If the MS is NOT an arranger, then by definition, any other arranger out there MUST be better than it. I have never claimed the MS was a bad VSTi player, or loopstation, workstation, whatever definition you want to use to hide it's abject failure to be a good arranger... All I'm saying is, most 'obsolete' arrangers sound FAR better than it does. So why come on to an ARRANGER forum, and defend the MS as a 'VSTi Workstation' or whatever definition you want to call it..? Take that argument to the workstation forums, and let THEM decide. You don't take a lemon to a gathering of apples, and then act indignant if someone says it's not a very good apple... (even if you have spent the last four years trying to persuade us that, forget the color and the taste, it REALLY is an apple!)
Take your lemon to the lemon forum...
