- this is true. however, the original post was suggesting that computers CANNOT
- replace so-called "established" equipment such as an S-1000. if an amiga with
- 8-bit, low-rate sampling gets the job done, more power to ya. don't let
- *anyone* tell you what you can and can't make music with.

- in that anyone can do it. you don't need multi-track tape or great mics or

- songs on all those compilations come from? some guy in his basement with a
- sampler, a sequencer and a DAT machine. whee!
