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. |

i think you and many others around here should stop masturbating to how clean a synth sounds or, wow listen to that subtle supersaw or, ooh that bass is much tighter than your average bass ... and just pay attention to what makes it a song in the first place. too much emphasis on production quality these days and not enough creativity. back in the day all we had was an 808 and 4 track recorders, we had to compensate the lack of production quality with creativity. i think we're getting spoiled, it used to be you could only afford so many vinyls in your crate but you made it work with what you had, but now we have millions of mp3s on our hard drive and scratch our head when it comes to thinking of what to play next. we used to only have so many production tools to work with but we made amazing tracks with what we had, now we're flooded with capabilities and better sound quality but when it comes down to sitting down and making something unique and inspiring we end up making crap like what you posted. |

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. |
