[quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1385314784' post='2286776'] Sit like a man son. Leg crossing is for girls. Nice picture tho [/quote] I can sit how I want thanks... I'd have preferred a snarky comment about my poor right hand position than one comparing me to a girl! Thanks though.. It is a nice picture.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1380922619' post='2232582'] Hey, no worries, it's already forgotten. Sorry if I was a bit over sensitive. [/quote] Nahh it's fine mate! I was the one who got a bit [i]passionate [/i]I suppose you could say, so I should be the one apologising! haha. Water under the bridge.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1380882966' post='2231837'] I get it. I'm in a band with keys, sax and trombone. It does take extra work, but I don't find it difficult because we're all competent musicians and I find the results most satisfying. As far as I'm concerned, no backing track can make up for the sound in particular but also sight of someone playing the hell out of a saxophone, or nearly decapitating someone with a trombone slide It's got nothing to do with snobbery. For me, live music is a visual show as well as an aural one. I like watching people play instruments, observing the mechanics of playing, gear spotting and the like. I don't go to a gig expecting note perfect renditions of pre-recorded music. I expressed a preference for seeing people doing something to create the sounds I am hearing when I go see a live band. I don't understand what your problem is with that, it's an opinion and I do not think any less of anyone who has a different opinion to me. I'm not saying you're wrong, so I would appreciate it if you could afford me the same courtesy. You're coming across to me as rather overbearing and intolerant and I can't say that I care for it. [/quote] Sorry I think there's been a misunderstanding! I get where you're coming from completely. I love playing in big full bands! The first bands I ever played in were 14 piece jazz/soul bands so I know how good it sounds. In an ideal world where my band is playing major festivals and arenas with a decent budget then we'll bring in the best aux musicians possible, but any other time it just isn't practical, possible or worth the risk. Personally, I'm a stickler for perfection and unless I am convinced there are guys available who can play the parts, that we've had recorded by other pro musicians, absolutely perfectly, then I'll always opt for using the pre recorded sequences. The pre-recorded stuff is still all live instruments anyway. If we've got an industry showcase coming up and we can't get adequate players on the budget we have... we're not just going to wrangle up our mates to come and jam along. It needs to be clean cut/low risk which is where the sequences come in. I do honestly respect your opinion, don't get me wrong, so I'm honestly sorry if I came across as overbearing and intolerant as you said. Must've been a misunderstanding due to me being tired from all these damned sequenced gigs I've been doing... [i](Also you're right. There is nothing like getting whacked on the head by a Trombone slide... Hurts like a b**ch!)[/i]
