'I used a lot of cracked commercial software for a lot of years when 
doing sound and I always got a couple of feelings out of it. One feeling 
was that you get these fancy programs with these fancy user interfaces, 
but at the end the more they have created this environment that's very 
easy for you to use, the more they've actually determined the kind of 
work you can make with it. If you look at a program like Ableton Live 
which is used by probably about eighty percent of people making sound 
and performing out live these days, it seems like. It's good for a very 
few things, it's good for working with loops, putting effects on these 
loops and sequencing them, but it pushes you in one creative direction, 
it pushes you into making a certain kind of music, really it pushes you 
towards German techno more than anything else.' Derek Holzer
