i mean if one guy has a brand new m3 mac and another just a phone thats not really an even playing field either. we all have diff resources and setups.JoaGymshoe wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 10:03 amit would have to be the other way around coz there's some guys on here using hardware only.. can't really have an uneven playing field from the outset..glasstapes wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 9:38 amyea in my experience the paid tools have higher quality sample rate and less artifacts.
i'm fine ppl having a no stems rule, if someone wins the week they get to choose, as long as its explicitly stated. otherwise anything that isnt stated should be fair game (imo)
another solution is.. if the winner wants us to use stems.. he can provide them by splitting them for us.
coz so far there's plenty of people who'd have to use a limited ( quality ) online service..
but you are right if someone wants to require stem separation then they need to provide the stems in the sample pack. if someone wants to have a rule that says no stem separation that is also fair.
if theres no specific mention of stems in the rules then i think that using it if you want should be fair game.
