Hey its not a bad method of producing music at all. And i think im sounding more arrogant than im intending. I cant even imagine how much dance music we'd be without if software production never came about.I agree. It is doing some damage. I am guilty when it comes to software production, but I use classical knowledge of rhythm, melody, etc. I put every ounce of energy into making it sound professional and original. I use my Fender Squier Telecustom guitar a lot in my production now. I'm creating my own new sound with software and hardware. However, like I said in an earlier post somewhere on this forum, it's not what you use, it's how you use it.
I refuse to use final scratch. But if thats what you wanna do to communicate the music..fine by me. Eventually you'll make the value of my vinyl collection increaseI also feel somewhat strongly about this. I don't use final scratch right now, mainly because of financial reasons, but also because I prefer vinyl. I like to play all the different records I have bought over the years. It gives me the feeling of 'having' something when I'm playing. Forgive me if it sounds a little wild, but it's like I grow to love a record, I bond with it. It can be held, it is my copy of someone elses beautiful work. And they just sound so deliciously warm. Mmm!
I agree that it is ailing the falen labels..never really looked at it like that. It certainly help the growth of upcoming artists. And in some senses i would say that ive gotten more press from net labels than an actual vinyl release.I agree. It's great for promotion, but to some degree, it is definitely aiding in the fall of physical labels. And I too have guilty fingers, heh. I guess it does help me with my growth as an artist though. For instance, my Archipel release was a great turning point in my production style. I was learning a whole lot. At the same time I started to make my LP for Traum. So I got some great knowledge from making that release. Just because I was free to experiment and learn new ways of making sounds work together.
