« on: April 05, 2018, 09:31:34 PM »No, seriously, why are lego prices so high? I mean I know oil is a commodity nowadays but come on, $200 for some specially molded pieces of plastic?lego has a high standard for what pieces are acceptable. also not all plastic qualities are the same. the reason you never have to deal with parts not fitting together tightly like maybe some other brands is because lego has an incredibly low margin of error and uses high quality plastic
Quote
The moulds used in production are accurate to within two-thousandth of a millimeter (0.002 mm). As a testament of the company's high quality standards, LEGO claims that all its pieces made from 1958 till now, regardless of its origin, remain fully compatible with one another.text ripped from this article
think about that, lego has to accurately color and shape hundreds to thousands of bricks per set so that they are compatible with no issue.
plus as camel just said, licensed sets will always be a little more expensive for the amount of bricks that you get.
just because lego are considered a toy company people think it's ridiculous that they have plenty of sets that are over 100 dollars, but i don't see lego as any different from any other hobby that requires hundreds of dollars put into it.
I'm not sure if a part count for the Y-Wing set has been released but considering it's $200 it should have roughly 2,000 individual bricks that all fit together perfectly. maybe less considering it's a licensed star wars set.
edit: also if i remember correctly, in the early 2000's they were actually under-pricing a lot of their sets and were facing bankruptcy before they raised the price again.

I'm interested in gear that people own or are saving up for, and what they use that gear for/why they're saving up for it.
I'd say my most used piece of equipment is my microkorg. I use it as my central midi control keyboard and I use it for nearly all of the synth parts in my songs, unless I need something more complex or something with more voices. In that case I would probably use Live's Operator or Massive.
Second to that would have to be the pairing of my guitars/bass and my roland sp404sx sampler. I love the sound you can get just by sampling parts of guitar playing and mangling it into something crazy. A lot of the textures on songs I make are from short reversed guitar samples.
I really would like to save up for an OP-1 some day but I can't really justify buying more equipment without making more music first. I don't want to become one of those gear hoarders who never makes music (even if i already am one). but the mobility of it and the pitch sampling function on it really intrigues me

I don't like the idea of thinking you need an brown townog synth (or any specific piece of gear) if you're serious about making electronic music. it's all to taste. you can make most any digital toy synth sound good if you use it to its strengths. I'm definitely not saying brown townog synths don't sound good. If you really want that sound then absolutely go for it, but that sound isn't so crucial to everybody's style.
sidenote: I can't tell, but I think some people might be confusing physical with brown townog synths. brown townog synths have a signal path that is made up of 100% brown townog circuitry, it does not go through any digital chips. This can add a warmer feel to the oscillators as well as other small unpredictable changes that digital synths aren't quite able to replicate.
You can have physical digital synths too, digital does not just mean a VST on your computer.

is this thread for posting production and composition feats as opposed to just posting full tracks? because i think it would be cool if people posted details on how they did stuff instead of just posting links to their soundcloud
