Re: New PCMCIA Soumd Card--Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS |

I am sure that many people have their own opinions. I know Creative isn't
popular in a lot of ways. You'd be unpopular too with some of their
business practices. You have your opinions, others have theirs, I have
mine. I like my card, 'nuff said.
Now you are admitting that you don't know much about this. You asked
someone
| Quote: | what is VST, they were probably busy and gave you a quick answer, that you
didn't understand, but you pretend that you know what it means, and keep
making a fool of yourself by making statements that sound more ridiculous.
Wouldn't it have been better just to have said that you were not familiar
with that? That wouldn't be anything to be ashamed of, most people in the
world do not know what VST is. But the arrogance of pretending to know
about
something you know nothing about is what makes you sound like a fool, like
your statement above that you "were talking about VST, not VST plug-ins".
Why don't you run that statement by your "sources"?

Still not getting it. I was saying that I don't do this professionally. I
DO NOT have a really awesome setup (much as I wish I had the talent to make
it a profession). I have a lower-end setup that I like. I use it. No, I
didn't ask someone what VST was. I didn't need to. To repeat: I do work
with music. I know people who do it better. We talk, like professionals.
They have more experience. It's like having a Master's but working with a
Ph.D. Working in a vacuum usually doesn't work well. I've never claimed to
be the Ph.D. I made the statement so you would know that I'm not the only
one agreeing with my statements. I agree to disagree with you. 'Nuff
said... I stick to my information, regardless of your opinion. I can still
put together a working setup and understand how to use it.

paid to understand and utilize the technology available.
You pay them to give you misinformation? Ha Ha. If these "sources" are
really people involved in music production with computers, they probably
did
not give you misinformation, but you did not understand what they said,
and
then you invent what you think they said. Why even post about something
you
know nothing about, and then ask other people for information, to include
in
your posts. (Furthermore, you didn't understand what they told you, yet
pretend that you do, in making totally erroneous statements.)
|
No, and no. I'll let you know as soon as you get one of those wild guesses
correct. I don't pay anyone. They get paid for contracts, same as many
pros. If you'd like a number to help you, my "Ph.D" peers are three in
number.

Pleeeazzze. Why didn't you just say you didn't understand something then,
rather than pretending you do?
I wish you all the best with your new Indigo card.
Thank you.
'm happy
that you have found something that sounds well to your ear as well as (I
presume) has some good functionality.
Well, I haven't heard it yet, so I cannot say it "sounds well to my ears".
However, as I said, in asking around a lot in music forums, there were
only
very excellent reviews of the Indigo card (the Echo company's products are
geared towards musicians, while Creative's are geared towards the general
public) from people who have used it. I didn't find anyone who had used
the
Audigy PC card (which is much newer), so I didn't get a review of that.
However, as I said, there were many negative statements about
Soundblasters
in general. The overwhelming advice was "go for the Indigo", so I decided
to
do that, even though it cost more. As I said, not the right choice for
everyone, but that's what I decided to go with.
Happy New Year to all!

Happy New Year to you as well.
Now for my last statement on this "I know more than you" issue. I've never
met you. I don't know who you are. I've never heard a thing you've
created. We surely don't use the same hardware, and I'd bet money we'd
never agree on what software works better for different applications. I
made the mistake once of replying on this subject and you can bet I won't do
it again. (BTW, that is NOT an "I was wrong" statement, to make that clear
before someone gets the wrong idea.) I won't continue this argument on this
newsgroup. I don't like to read arguments, and will not contribute to
more. If you want to continue this, you can meet me in email. Also, I would
have gladly read your link just to see where in the world you're getting
your information, but it wouldn't load. You can bet I'll try again later.
I am going to drop any further replies to this thread. You are welcome to
continue replies through email as suggested above. I wouldn't want to give
the impression that "I'm too good" to continue to support my information.
I'll happily agree to disagree with you in further silence on the ng, and
vociferiously in email.
Best of luck.
