J3 and izzy.
i just dont understand why people feel they cant do modern songs in pgmusic apps....
heres the issues...
1..you both want modern rt's...but which ones that pg dont provide ?? please provide example modern songs and sounds you feel pg content is missing...bearing in mind synthmaster alone i can get a slew of modern sounds.
2..any year whats 'in' re modern song styles and sounds might be different than next year...there are literal!y millions of possible sounds out there. so how do pg cope with this...its like constantly shifting sand.
3..if pg try to provide another eg...1000 new 'modern' sounds..lets say....to keep users into modern sounds happy ...there are implications like ballooning download times...as not everyone in the world has uber fast fibre net service... so how can pg address this problem ?...and some users ensuing comp!aints re download times due to slow net services.
wouldnt it make sense given the above that pg users use midi generation features in bb and rb in conjunction with plugins with a ton of modern sounds in ?
honestly im not trying to be awkward...im just trying to suggest re above there are no win downsides for pg....thus its a catch 22 for pg.
i would love to know how pg solve the various issues. cos in the past if ive wanted modern sounds i would generate midi tracks in pg apps and these would drive plugins and sounds i selected.
let me add why im carefull with sample libraries cos there are downsides...
1..they are so huge often and time consuming thus they interfere with my creation rhytm when im trying to get song ideas down fast as creative ideas flow. 2..the time spent going thru menus...for example in last month i saw a loverly lib...but realised i would have to expend not insignificant time with it. 3..because sample libs can be so large...once again cos the producers trying to keep their user base happy like pg with pg users...then people might complain it takes a long time to navigate like some pg users complain currently due to the vast.pg content....even if pg went the music genre seperate pacs route.
throw in the fact pg offer their products in different languages..thus i would suggest respectfully it might become a maintenance nightware for pg. its like an old boss of mine in tech used to say to me 'you try to solve a problem bulge in a balloon in one area...only to create a problem bulge in another area...'.
haveing worked with some of the above aspects in tech in the past ive found there is no perfect solution to keeping user bases happy...cos....any way one looks at it the developer is in a no win situation and developers get user complaints over and over.
if pg users have any solutions to the above conundrums im sure that pg woukd love to hear them...cos...like we used to do in tech...we were often haveing meeting after meeting to find some breakthrough ideas to keep users happy...but no matter what we did...in the end.....complaints ensued.
let the solutions to above now flow cos im out of ideas how to keep pg users happy all the time based on my time in tech and tearing my hair out too many times...lmao...
happiness.
