seriously think about how easy it is to make music these days. back in the beginnings they had to splice tape for hours just to get a few seconds of music out of it. just as difficult in the recent past, you had to buy thousands and thousands of dollars worth of equipment that even then was prone to bugs and unstable.
today all you have to do is download a small program and you now have more power than people have had in the past, yet we still complain about not being able to make music.

That Burial choon is fucking wicked. :O Love it to death. How he did this in Soundforge, I don't no idea
I agree with what he's saying but we need to find a middle ground. Let's face it, a lot of music back then was horribly produced but the melodies and ideas were great. These days everything is extremely polished but a lot of it lacks any substance.
The best tracks are the ones that use the new techniques and much better production quality, but still compose a song with love and original ideas.
we dont have analog distortion!
