Be it hereby resolved that any person, group or corporate entity that uses the word "cinematic" in the title, description or promotion of a sound or music product shall be found guilty of grave offences against the language and shall be banished indefinitely to easy-listening radio-land forthwith.


All in favour?

 

For start how to ban jerks?
So many definitions are wrong...
Ignorance must be enlight not banned, the main porpouse of the site

 

Is "cinematic" a dirty-word?

 

That just might be a cinematic faux pas of epic proportions.

 

Do you find the word triggering ? Maybe they should use trigger warnings

 

Just like the word "Pro" in today's mobile apps
Development has evolved to a point where "Pro" has become a little warning sign indicating low-quality apps with a few features only.

 

hey, please stop swearing! no need to use the "c"-word all the time!

 

While we are at it, I would also suggest to stop using the word "essential". I mean... really?

 

Yes annoying, agreed. But many genre descriptions have been hijacked and abused. For instance, when i see what some people call R&B today i shudder and remember what R&B should be: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_rhythm_and_blues !

 

ban the word "genre" why does everything need a fecking label?

 

hello, all audio lovers,

awesome,
easy,
effortless,
instant,
gratification,

please do add more from your experience...

all the best for all of us, plus pray do exclude crude blurbs, annoying sales pitches, etc.

 

What does "cinematic" actually mean?

There's no point of reference. There's only a vague idea of what one could mean by saying that. I mean I have one but I don't know if it's 100% the same as anyone else's. It's weird and hard to describe, because it's a feeling/idea in one's head that needs to be put in specific (or not) words.

It's like saying a piece is not "juicy" enough. Come again? Do you want me to submerge it in lemonade or something?

But I guess you'll have to live with these abstract descriptions.

But "essential" is ...essential.

 

Cinematic sounds soooo VINTAGE ....

 

Aye!

I realized that I could pre-empt superfluous libraries and software instruments by avoiding things with the words "cinematic," "urban," "assault," "apocalypse," "apocalyptic," "EDM," and/or, "real."

 

well ya know how it is...

marketing buzzwords are everywhere. As long as it doesnt affect your own ability to make music, just let it happen...

This whole entire world of computer music production has kind of overflooded anyway, nothing you can do about it... just make the music you like and move on...

 

for me, ban awesome

 

Oh yes cimematic sounds to migraine and string libraries ready for a fugue... a bit overdone.

 

I don't get you guys. I always though everybody likes awesome, epic, cinematic fresh EDM and Trap beatz. Especially in an essential vintage collection.

 

only if it's old school
