12 years ago @ Create Digital Music - Arturia's $550 Minibru... · 1 reply · +1 points

i always find it hilariously frustrating that MANY people ask for MORE analog gear. Then want said analog gear to be affordable. When a company comes out and seemingly delivers then there's ALWAYS multiple people who deride such an accomplishment or as Mr. Distell did above my comment, claim that one must discard new cheaper options for essentially 'the real deal' ... The product isn't even out yet and yet people like him are claiming you should pay twice the price because it'll simply be worth it to do so, then slagging us all assuming we all buy only the newest and biggest fads for the sake of doing so...

Listen man, some of us out there have VERY slim budgets and simply cannot 'throw down' $1,300+ at one time for anything outside of perhaps a new computer and similarly cannot/don't buy every new synth that hits the stores... Taking into account the Minibrute is in the SUB-$600 range I'm assuming such a product is primarily aimed at folks such as myself who have very little gear due to choice firstly and price/cost secondarily. We'd all love to purchase a luxury/sports car when we go car shopping but many out there have to be realistic and decide to settle on a utilitarian fuel efficient vehicle instead. And really there's nothing WRONG about that. Not every product that comes out needs to be or even should be ultra-boutique and dominant in every way possible to any conceivable competition... You know, the old 'Everything else is piss' statement/argument...

The more options out there the better in my opinion. What's right for one may not be for another. The more analog options at affordable prices seems like only a good thing to me... I don't even know if the Minibrute will be good or not yet but it does look very interesting and if it delivers like I think it will I know it could very well be MY very 1st analog synth. I'm not saying it absolutely will be that but let's not discard new & interesting options for obviously great Moog products or items from any other company that are basically more than twice the price of the Minibrute, okay? Thanks... lulz...

Most studio rats know that there's no difference between high end cables and low end cables in sound quality... Really the only thing you have to worry about is whether or not your cables are shielded because you can get some funky interference in some places depending on if you take your gear out on the road... If you're certain you aren't getting interference you can use whatever the hell you want really :)

oh sweet! Guess I should have done some research before opening my big mouth lol... Time for me to check out those demos :)

If everything is as tight as it would seem after these revelations then this would be a great viable alternative to having to plunk down $3k on a tight Mac system. I guess it depends on ones own needs as always but people slamming this seems pretty short sighted. I know lot's of people who would love something like this, especially for live performances since bringing ones own personal home studio on tour wouldn't be too logical just to use their favorite VSTs.

this looks like a great idea that could have been and still could be done much better... it would be awesome to have an ultra stable environment like this to use all your favorite vsts with live. I'd like to know if you just load in pre-configured sounds from your favorite vsts or how exactly that's handled because having all your favorite virtual instruments on an ultra-stable, ultra-fast environment is great but if you can't mess with all the many parameters pretty much every vst usually has then what's the point?

WOW, I love Kevin Smith but sheez he could not shut the F up for 2 seconds so poor Elvis could actually take part in the interview instead of listening to Kevin talk about almost to a word exactly what he talked about on "The Business" on this very station... was still cool to listen but man, was kind of hard to listen to since I've heard him talk about this in almost the exact same words before and I dare to say MULTIPLE times on other shows or avenues...

this thing looks pretty cool depending on the price it could be really attractive... On a side note I'd LOVE to see somebody else demo it because the guy in this video is just very very annoying to me...
