>Skrillex uses Prime Loops! [1] Anyone with GarageBand can do that. I always say "Skrillex isn't Dubstep, it's 'Commercial Shit-step".
Which means absolutely nothing. Lots of very talented producers use loops and samples, and there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you use them creatively it says nothing about your skill as a musician or producer.
Yes, anyone with Garageband can use loops. But not everyone with Garageband can produce to a professional standard, or write a decent melody, or chord progression, or arrange a song, or create the perfect synth patch, or create something new-sounding etc.
Command-Option-T is the equivalent key combination.
I think what's wrong with the icons can be summed up by the following:
• Inconsistency
• Unnecessary complexity
I don't have much of a problem with the colours. The icons are only half the problem though. Both the text and icons do not stand out enough against the background, and the text and icons seem too close together. The homescreen just looks half finished.
Really nice. A lot more than I can say for the real thing. It upsets me that the actual thing looks so bad.
But they're talking about a layout change, which can drastically alter the way someone goes about using a website. Icon changes don't really do that.
The new Mac Pro looks like the part of a vacuum cleaner that stores the dust. It's going to take a while for it to grow on me, if that ever happens.
They could have at least added a little shadow or something, like they would usually. I don't know what they were thinking. I usually trust Apple with these design matters.
Some of that text is so hard on the eyes. How could they not have put a shadow behind the white text?
It's more like a spinning toothpaste lid. I wouldn't call that a button, even if it is round. And I can think of a lot of other round things which make no sense being called a button.
No, I'm pretty sure he's actually 5'7" and the platform shoes make him taller.
