>>60022996i mean, whoever made that had a point
digital recording really removed a lot of the need for great musicianship
like, if a singer can do a bunch of takes with all these vocal acrobatics and edit the best bits together, you don't need an amazing singer with range who can sing an entire take perfectly from start to finish, like you would if you were recording to tape
same with what quantization has done. funk and disco musicians of the 60s/70s had to be so on point in terms of timing, look at someone like bernard purdie. now things are snapped to a grid and it loses so much of the swing that real, good drummers have. no modern house record could compare to a james brown song in my opinion - to say nothing of a record like loveless where all the drums are looped
