Hard synths vs soft synths. Hard synth purists scoff at soft synths because they are not “authentic” and merely simulations. Soft synth snobs scoff at hard synth users because they are old timers who can’t move on to the future. Both are fine, do what you want. At the end of the day, what matters is if the music you produce is actually good.
Yes, but it depends on which one you use. Some are better than others. The ones that can be hosted locally (i.e. keepass) are the most secure because you are not relying on a third party to host your password vault for you. It would be helpful to know why you think they aren’t very secure, so people can help clarify.
If they’re anything like me learning something specific to do a one-off job, they’ll forget about it as soon as it wraps up.
Yeah, I’m all against social media surveillance, but this was on the jumbotron at a concert. Having said that, I do hate those segments in concerts and sports where they feature audiences on the screens without consent. It’s not like there’s a line in the customer agreement when buying tickets that you allow your face to be featured (unless there is?). That’s why I always make myself as boring as possible - either just sitting with a straight face, or eating something - so I don’t get singled out.
