are girls using reaktor??

just a simple question I was asking myself...
are there girls who are using reaktor? or is it a male activity like watching football or tuning...
you know:
" -I've change the carburator and replace it a wave wraper of 16''.
-and for the wheels?
-just put 2 LFO!"

just to add a little bit of sex in this forum
(but with no math 'cause apple pie is not my prefered ha ha ha);-D

 

...if only they could talk to their boyfriends with it...LOL

 

There's a few out there...whoever it is who's putting the tutorials together for one(sorry-I can't remember the name right now).
Claire Fitch(www.fitchsounds.com)uses Reaktor in some of her music.I've also received mail with questions about ensembles from a couple other women who use it in their music as well.
ew

 

i think most of them skipped right by reaktor and are using csound/supercollider/max/msp/assembly code...

 

Hm... its true. Where are those girls...

I think we scare them all away.

And Bingo, that's not nice! lol

 

more girls here

i actually know more girls that use reaktor than guys. i know one other guy who uses it (and "turned me on" to reaktor) but i know three girls who use it a lot. one plays japanese alternaPop, one jazz and one is a studio techie.
i think they use guy names on the 'net tho, so it would be impossible to know unless you saw 'em.

 

Why do they use guy names, hm?

 

if i were to guess i would say that they feel more anonymous with guy names. one has said that with guy names she never gets off topic questions.

 

honestly... i have no idea ;^) well, actually, i think i do : .

 

see this thread...

 

Well if they used them, we wouldn't have this thread now would we.

They're setting back the women's movement 20 years I tell you!

 

the fact that females feel that they are better off if they use male screen names probably suggests that somthing else has put the 'women's movement' back a little bit more than 20 years no?

 

in fact I don't care if women are using male name (also I'm a bit sad) but I guess it has more to do with us the male than with them
I'm very happy to konw there are girls using reaktor (I feel more like a human being than a testosterone producing machine) I find that cool
so ladies I salute you, and you have my deep admiration (also I don't know why)
so my next question will be :is there a difference between an ensemble made by woman and one by a man?are they both looking for the same things in sound and in reaktor?
don't say that to be sexist, in my job (video editing) there are more girls than boys and I don't think it is because there are more male directors than female.I 've noticed that men (in video work) are more in cartesian,pure graphical project and women more in emotional projects, let's say men are more in their brain and women more turn to others.(maybe some thing from the old time, men hunting,women staying in the village so having a more 'sociable' life).so considering this there might be difference in reaktors ensemble(but might be not);-)

 

toto you do not like pie? pie is slang for tush or muffin, c'est de la chatte.

 

thanks smart hex I didn't know. in fact it my prefered dish (my english is so poor):-(
a contrario you seems to have praticed a lot
:-D
good word john.

 

> is there a difference between an ensemble made by woman and one by a man? are they both looking for the same things in sound and in reaktor?

at the risk of sounding sexist (genderist?), in my experience men are more attracted to abstract flows of energy and women to affective flows of energy. by affective, i mean arousing/engendering emotional responses.

since experimental electronic music is, for the most part, abstract in nature, it is a bit of a boy's club.

yes? no?

that might be the problem with the general state of experimental music. it's so abstract that there typically isn't much in the way of feeling that goes along with it. so... maybe we NEED more women to infuse a bit of feeling into the cold digital-ness (even if it's just to make it FEEL cold).

 

this converge with your challenging thread,which I completely agree with,electronic music seems to be a bit mechanical in the sound when i ear electronic sound I almost always think 'that was made by a synth (always square saw osc filtered)
electronic sounds often don't have emotional background they don't have a life inside
i'd like to find instrument that sound like alien real instrument (you don't know what it is but you don't think of electronically generated sound).
introducing the concept of a breathing instrument is a way, I also think that putting mechanical noise like the noise of the buttons (could someone give me the translation of "piston")for a trumpet or physical defaut due to the instrument itself like the noise of the left hand sweeping on string during a change of chord on a guitar is a good way but maybe with completely unknown sounds (alien instrument ).
maybe we should do an art draw of the instrument we'd like to create with the musician using it.(an octopussy from vega playing harp with hydrogen strings

I'm definetly for alien folklorical music!

 

I sell almost as many ensembles to women as men. Haven't noticed any difference in which ones they buy.
