Guenter,

you are without a doubt (in my mind anyway) one of the most innovative people on this forum, and maybe in this sector of the universe.

The stuff you come up with would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS even occur to me, let alone find its way onto a recording by my hand!

You have so many techniques at your disposal that each of your offerings so far has been completely unlike the others, with the one exception (by design) being to use the synthetic voice as a theme.

I'm so impressed by your work that if you were a stock, I'd sell everything I own and use the money to buy as many shares of you as I could. OK, that's a little weird, so maybe I wouldn't do that after all. But I'd buy your CD.


BTW, which version of FLStudio do you use?

This is far, far removed from what I typically listen to....but I just can't keep from being captivated by it. Being somewhat of a tech geek I get drawn in from the technical perspective but then the rhythms and melodies hold my attention. Your last post resulted in me spending considerable time on the net reading about the software that you use. Simply fascinating. Look forward to the next one.

Hi Guenter,

How incredible is this song!!! Like Pat, there is no way in several lifetimes that I'd ever think of anything like what you come up with. Your ingenuity seems limitless. Every time I listen to your latest song, you surprise me! I'm a fan.

I just love listening to what you do. You're an outstanding musician whichever way I look at your music.

All the best,
Noel

Hi Pat, Janice, Bud, Noel, Cerio and VideoTrack,

Hi Guenter, agreed with everybody else.Good combination of BIB, looping (maybe) and whatever else you use to produce your songs.

I've been fascinated with FLStudio ever since my son bought it several years ago. I love the songs people make with it, I admire the programming and design creativity that built such a unique product... but I've tried to learn it several times and it
just
doesn't
make
sense
to me

It reminds me of a MiniCooper. Cool car, full of innovative ideas. But on every other car in the world, you'll find a way (button or handle) to open the window somewhere just below the window. Nope, not on the Mini Cooper. NOTHING on a MC works the way it does on every other car.

On every other Windows-based program the top right corner of the window has buttons to minimize, maximize or close the program window. Not in FLStudio. I think it was probably FLSTudio that prompted me to invent the...

FRUSTRATION-O-METER
0____________/_100

In spite of my own inability to learn new things, I'm happy that YOU use that product, because it serves your ideas so well.

This is kind of Thomas Dolby would be doing today. Real cool! I like how you are hybridding sounds of classic rock guitar with Euro-Tech and some neat chord changes to make it all interesting.
I really like it!

Cheers!

Hi Guenter. This is amazing as usual. You are really getting that girl to sing!
Posted By: boehm Re: Don't Hug Me, I'm Digital - 05/28/13 08:16 PM
Hi Mike, Eric, Josie, Ricke and Joanne,

thanks very much for your nice comments.

@Pat: I totally agree. FL Studio can't be used intuitively at all. My "frustration meter" shows about 80%. But you can do nice things with it and so I sometimes invest a lot of time to find out how to use an effect.
Every software uses the delete key to delete something. FL uses the right mouse button!!
Reaper is something I call intuitive. That's why I love it.

Guenter...

You have ceased to amaze me.

I used to be amazed at each of your submissions. And each for some different (new) reasons. The innovation. The imagination. The sheer JOY that listening to your music brings.

No longer.

I have simply come to EXPECT complete, absolute, utter excellence from you.

You can meld old and new like it's nothing. You can make machines sing. The only amazing thing is that you and your music are not at the top of some chart, somewhere....

Ho-hum...

The music and mix is fantastic -- and the vocal stuff is amazingly life-like (definitely close enough!). Outstanding work. The RT instruments really fit super well.

Hi Floyd, Bob and Kevin,

thank you for your nice comments.

@Floyd: Please don't put me under pressure. For me it's just fun to make music and I'm glad that my efforts are appreciated by some people. But I don't want to be under pressure to succeed.

TOO LATE!
you've already set the bar. Now we'll settle for nothing less!

(I don't think you have to worry about failing to create songs that we like.)

Nice! I love the clarity of the mix - it sounds great in headphones.

I hope PG Music adds more flute RealTracks in the near future!

Hi David,

thanks a lot.
You're right. The choice is not very large.

Guenter
Posted By: Pat Marr Re: Don't Hug Me, I'm Digital - 06/02/13 07:02 PM
due to the fact that a surge in other songs pushed this wonderful song off the front page prematurely, I'm bumping it back to the top. If you haven't offered any thoughts for Guenter yet, please consider leaving him a comment.

Guenter:

You are very imaginative and inventive. I always look forward to hearing your stuff.

Looking forward to the next.
