@dk@callie@christa I feel like I'm fighting against it in any daw I've ever used. I'm fighting against it on my sp404 too. I like that audacity and other pure waveform editors just lack the concept of a grid and bpm.
@dk@callie@christa like even with quantize turned off an mpc wants you to think in loops of a fixed length. And that's fine, it's definitely a feature, but sometimes (most of the time) I want the weird freeform that Christa just adequately described as "maddening"
@darius@callie@christa fair enough. I think there’s a way to turn off the grid/bpm in most DAWs but i could be wrong about that. and i think i’ve been over-“perfecting” things more often than not myself.
@darius @dk @callie ya i feel this except for today when I played something and tried to impose a drum beat over it. that was kinda maddening
