Of course it is.  If you can't play it live ...  Recording is cheating.  Using a mic is cheating, as well as an electric amp.

a real musician will bang two stones together to make their music.

CTFU(LOL) @AT.

Thats right on some caveman boogie ;)

I kind of think they're neat but I'm finding a lot of the Arps in Sonar and it's synths take it too far. I'll get a nice little arp effect going after I press a key but I want it to repeat. Instead it goes off and tries to play an entire freaking song. What the heck? lol

Makes them kind of useless to me.

Even better, one time I didn't have any controller hooked up to play drums....I so hate programming. So I grabbed a mic, and started mouthing drum parts. Had kick, snare, hats, toms, ride and crashes. Recorded them all one track at a time....and ran Drumagog on each track....instant drum kit! Hahaha! :)

LOL@ danny...lol Were prob kin then..LOL

But timberland would do that and just layer a kit over top and mix the two. (easier when your dealing with hip hop music which is known for heavy drum parts....but seeing done in person and it come out nice...Still tickles me and is clever as hell...)

Too funny...'shows how old I am
 
I thought you were talking abou this:
 
ARP Instruments, Inc. was an American manufacturer of electronic musical instruments, founded by Alan Robert Pearlman in 1969. Best known for its line of synthesizers that emerged in the early 1970s, ARP closed its doors in 1981 due to financial difficulties. The company earned a reputation for producing excellent sounding, innovative instruments and was granted several patents for the technology it developed.
 

I guess the proper answer to this is "it's only cheating if your wife is not cool with it". My gf has a don't ask don't tell policy when it comes to arps.

HAAHHA @dub
