Why is there always that one guy who needlessly bashes a good idea with really bad logic?
... "that one guy" (what guy?) who "needlessly bashes" ... "good idea" (we haven't yet established that it's a good idea!) with "really bad logic" (if it's so bad show what's wrong with it! Respond to it! All you did was state an unrelated point that actually backs up my argument...see below).
If I seem harsh now it's because I don't like being smeared with ad hominems.
You said you used a "dumbphone," so this suggestion isn't something that would even apply to you. You're pretty much disagreeing for the hell of it. Everyone who posted before you agreed that the idea was good. Your logic is faulty, and relies on the claim that the only people who would benefit are any "smartphone and internet addict who happens to use forums," which is more "ad hominem" than anything I said. Therefore,
you're that one guy who needlessly bashes a good idea with really bad logic.I'm on TPF all the time on my phone. Sometimes I'm waiting for a class to start or for my turn to get food at a restaurant. Sometimes I'm getting a ride from someone and there's nothing else to do.
Sounds like you've got a screen addiction. TPF shouldn't play the role of enabler to you.
I'm an addict because I use my phone to browse a forum when I have nothing else to do?
If anything, checking whatever you need to check on TPF when you're not home would mean there'd be a lot less to do on here once you did get home, which means you'd have MORE time to focus on producing.
TPF was started as a website for a reason. A lot of people are tabbing between this and their DAWs. Adding an app changes the implied intended use case. See previous comment.
No it doesn't, it just makes the forum more accessible. Having the forum open on your phone and your DAW on your computer is no different than having both your DAW and the forum open on your computer. Actually, I think the former would even be more convenient.
I'm sorry I came off as harsh, hopefully I clarified whatever was bothering you. I've just dealt with a couple of other people who criticized an idea I suggested without really contributing to the discussion, almost as if they were doing it 'cause they had nothing better to do.
