For example, kick and bass were two independent instruments for me, each playing it's own line. An academic composer said, that I should play kick and bass unisono. He was mistaken regarding some of my compositions, especially since I composed mostly for myself, but he is right regarding averaged pop music, especially when composed for an audience. There's a vague boarder between well done and incompetence. An audience of people who aren't musicians maybe would notice a bass line independent of the kick in combination with a few other pitfalls, as "too many (rhythm) instruments", "ten good songs in one odd song", they don't notice the root, they just notice something unusual. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
