The manner of debating is technically faulty, obtuse, and misleading if not intentionally dishonest.
Fault #1:
Intentionally concocting the mere
appearance that an opponent's statement is senseless, by lopping off the compelling end of his statement, thereby presenting unsuspecting readers with an incomplete thought (to artificially prop up an ego perhaps) fraudulently giving the mere *appearance* you have a more sensible argument. You. are. busted.
*Look here folks. I've italicized the complete thought, that Marc unwisely, craftily, yea even self-incriminatingly hacked. Watch this ploy:
Marc Wielage wrote:Peter Benson wrote:That response suitable for the "Captain Obvious" character in some USA hotel chain's
That's not a truthful quote Marc.
But *this* is:
That response suitable for the "Captain Obvious" character in some USA hotel chain's commercials in no way negates the truth of what was advanced by myself above.
Fault #2: Misestimation of one's own accuracy
Marc Wielage wrote:Everything I said is still true.
That #sweepingeneralization of a statement about your assertions most *certainly* isn't true, especially as they're loaded with #strawmanargument schemes. Watch out for his usual sleight-of-hand folks...
Marc Weilage wrote: Spend more money, get better hardware, and you'll see better performance from Resolve.
Neither one of us denied that, so why change the subject from that which I rightly conveyed (that condescension against cost saving, wholly effective solutions with excellent performance characteristics doesn't sit well with some of us old farts, and newbies ought to beware of the fodder techno-elitist types spew forth, to dissuade them from thinking about cost-savings in designing their systems.
Fault #3: Endlessly *repeated* infractions involving sneaky use of #strawmanargument scheme
Marc Weilage wrote:Just because software is cheap (or even free) doesn't mean it works well with cheap equipment.
Neither of us made that ridiculous assertion. So you want your audience to pretend along with you, that I believe that? How fantastical and dishonest.
Fault #4 Another #strawman!? Tiresomely fraudulent.
Marc Weilage wrote:In truth, the computer and the software in a color room might be the cheapest investment in the room.
No kidding, Captain Obvious.
Fault #5: Pretend you've got the configuration in mind, that suits nearly every Resolve End user, regardless of the fact Resolve has increasingly become a toolbox, if you will, for multiple functions and disciplines in the media field, functions which some users only need 1 or 2 of, and...horrors -- they may not even take a *glance* at the COLOR page!
Fault #6 Here he goes again... He's got everyone's needs figured out. [Sighs!]
Marc Weilage wrote: It's the everything else that represents the biggest investment, particularly monitors, storage, control panels, plug-ins, and so on.
Not necessarily. That #sweepinggeneralization renders your statement faulty in a *host* of Davinci Resolve usage scenarios.
Fault #7 Esoteric treated as entry-level, compounded by postulating the need to spend into stratospheric endlessness, all in condescending elitist fantasyland:
Marc Weilage wrote:I would compare this to audio: you might spend $1000 on a Pro Tools or Fairlight system, then spend many, many thousands of dollars on acoustics, loudspeakers, mixing surface, microphones, preamps, outboard processors
I wouldn't touch enduser-abusive, NASDAQ-ejected AVID's NLE or DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) with a 10-foot pole. I have ProTools, for the purpose of telling the inquisitive snob:
"Oh yeah -- of *course* I have ProTools!" (But never use it, as it's comparably unstable relative to better designed competitors.).
And the possibility that *you* and some others might spend bigly like that, on acoustic treatments, mixing controllers, plugins and the like, most assuredly does not mean that creative systems integrators and endusers absolutely *have* to do so, in order to attain very similar workflow, audio monitoring and effects processing results, and the $499USD Softube Console One Mkii plugin/hardware control surface combo in use here and in a host of other even more desirable installations substantially applies here.
Marc Weilage wrote: ... it never ends.
Well, that's certainly true In the sense of posts that unrelentingly convey a misdirected disdain for outstanding performance attainable at incomparable cost savings and value.
Marc Weilage wrote:BMD's Config specs are a wealth of information, and they keep them fairly up to date.
Well done Sir, you've helped me prove my point.
