This guy i work with won shut the F*ck up about Pro Tools

Post by cacti » Fri Oct 02, 2009 8:06 pm

being the industry standard. Every time the subject of music get bought up he tries to spew this shit about how great pro tools is and how its the industry standard and he can teach me if i want (oh thanks asshole). But he never can come up with an exact reason why its so much better. What can i tell this noob to get him to stfu?

standards are meant to be broken... sit down, shut up and watch me make history.

whats so great about your favorite color?

why is it better than mine?






get what I'm saying? you can't win. his mind is made up and he should be telling you whats so bad about Live. After all his app has a position to defend and you like yours.

You bought Live right? so you like it better. its up to him to prove that you don't like it better.

The punch him in the mouth suggestion may work if he seriously won't stfu. he probably swears that chevys or fords or some such is the best too. no one can prove that shit. which industry standard? times change and so does software.

don't tell him anything. he's just harping and spewing what he read in an article or an advert. make tracks. let him make the ass.

Tell him yes, that would be great and maybe you could go and get some dinner afterwards, then wink and stare at his lunchbox.

People usually stop talking eventually if you don't argue with them.

yep, stop feeding him, simple as that. unless he pulls the trigger on you, if you try to ignore him.
which you probably deserve anyway not accepting the industry standard.

Ask that guy if Pro Tools is such a great app, why can't it run on non digidesign hardware or no harware? It sucks that I need my MBox 2 to open old Pro Tools files. Digidesign is just greedy.

It sounds to me like he does know something about music and you're just being defensive.
