Goes to show a mouse+software is all you need
just read this interview with skrillex
http://www.beatportal.com/feed/item/introducing-skrillex/
he did Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites album with just the trackpad of a macbook and ableton live and one speaker
thats pretty impressive,and just goes to show you dont need £1000’s worth of gear to make something great.
+1 for gear not making the artist.
-2 for Skrillex being too cheap to at least use a USB mouse.
I’d rather smash my head between two unabridged dictionary’s then try to produce an entire album on a trackpad.
hats off to him!
Preference. I have a USB mouse sitting next to my Macbook right now. I have it plugged in just so I don’t try to use it and wonder why nothing’s happening, but it doesn’t come up that often.
that’s nuts..i can’t stand my trackpad!
Not too sure how much I like his music but the fact that he can make it with just that is impressive.
Trackpads ftw! Couple years ago I beat COD4 on Veteran using only my trackpad >_>
+1 considering the guy has been a professional musician since he was 16. Pretty sure if I was getting decent money from music I’d be throwing it all back at machines/pads/screens/speakers/etc etc
Equipment can be a distraction and a liability.
Multi-touch trackpad > Mouse!!!
quite impressive.
I may have to make my next album like that 
Oh and a blown speaker doesn’t mean one speaker, blown speakers still put out sound… albeit crappy sound, but enough to get a stereo image. 
Nice post. Thanks!
too bad skrillex is really really boring
