I'd love to listen to yours. By that I meant the GREAT SONAR GURU, John ...
Don't hold your breath DKNY.
Mind you, if memory serves me correctly, there are legitimate reasons why John chooses not to share his illustrious and no doubt stupendous creations with the rest of us.
Such was the importance of this matter, I recall there were four theories floating around the internet at one time as to why nobody here had been privileged enough to have heard any music from the master:
- It's so awesome and wonderful and beautiful and outstanding and awesome that, on hearing it, everyone else would immediately feel incredibly inadequate and in consequence, immediately consign their own music and audio software to the Recycle Bin of history. Subsequently, we would all fall to our knees and weep in adulatory worship at any mention of his name.
- John is a pro, and therefore every single note he has ever recorded is copyrighted or protected legally in some way, so he is unable to share with us even as much as a dotted crotchet of it. This theory also encompasses the fact that, as a successful and much sought after engineer, John has less than a dotted crotchet's worth of free time to record any personal music.
- Having spent every waking hour learning every minute facet of every version of SONAR, he hasn't actually ever actually gotten round to recording anything in SONAR - nothing whatsoever in fact.
- It's crap. Embarrassingly crap in fact. Especially for a chap who can talk the talk but falls considerably short when it comes to walking the walk.
Personally speaking, I favour theory #1. And let me put it on record that long may his manifold magnificent masterpieces be kept hidden from our auditory gaze. At least it gives the rest of us mere mortals the one thing that may nourish and acquiesce our otherwise humdrum and mundane musical lives...
HOPE.
And I thank you for that John. That your continued musical silence will undoubtedly continue to be a source of much comfort to those of us who can merely aspire to any real level of competence in the realm of digital audio.
His magnificence in this continued benevolence to the Cakewalk community reminds me of that famous quote from Nelson Mandela's chiropodist, who on being questioned by the great statesman, uttered these immortal words, "There is nothing wrong with defeat."
Moving stuff. Moving stuff indeed.
