someone recently suggested an interesting idea to me for the blog here, and that was to have an open interview using the COMMENTS feature. this allows any reader to ask questions, as well as follow-ups.

so, feel free to add a question in the comments sectino of this post and i’ll get back with an answer. it can be music related, life related, food related, anything related. if there’s ever anything you wanted to know that you haven’t read elsewhere, now’s the chance…

sitting in bed this morning doing some stuff in Reaktor… and realizing that this program, more than others, simply has too many choices. i find myself never using it for this reason. it’s impossible to focus, there’s too much eye candy and its a perfect example of a tool getting in the way of productivity.

i’ve downloaded a LOT of ensembles from the reaktor library and am going to go into my folders today and delete 95% of it, maybe then i’ll focus on what i’ve created and the ensembles i find most inspiring… or else i fear i’ll never use the program again.

i’m curious if anyone else has similar feelings with reaktor, or another program, or audio software in general… feel free to chime in.
