Miss the days when musicians knew how to play and record their own instruments and songs....
I was in recording studios when they were still using reel to reel tape, and to me, nothing can ever compare to the warmth of that sound. The more digital things got, the colder it sounded. Home studios and DAW are nice, but a learning curve for us older musicians. I remember telling the engineer that I wanted to play a certain track through a Fender Twin Reverb, and he had one there within the hour. Now they just sample, but not the same. We didn't use loops, samples, etc., but used the real equipment. Nothing beats it- and the 20-40 years we spent playing our instrument really taught us how music worked. I am not badmouthing anyone who uses any of these methods, just saying it was way different back then, and you really had to have talent to get anywhere. It was the best time to be a musician. What will happen to the top music Colleges like Berkely or Juliard? Will they have to teach AI? Thanks for reading.
