Overheard

hey guys, been slumbering today, cause no class ! ! also been emo-ing alot recently...guess im back to the old me, lots lots and lots of emoness.

Anyway, had a guest lecture ytd after my class, he is a very famous producer, mixer, and sound engineer. He was in the scene alongside many famous artist, including the well known mick jagger, bob dylan, tom petty, and motorhead, just to name few of his previous project, his name is Fred de Faye, and yes his french.

And he was saying about the sound engineer and musicians now a days lag attitude, and i totally agree to what he said. Music is all about passion, but it seems now a days, its totally twisted, musicians are getting lazy, dont bother to think or create something special, all they do is depend on modern technology. Yes it is good in some way that modern technology helps us in our music, note that, HELPS us, not CREATE for us, well no offence, i my slf is a pro tools lover, but the evolution of technology can make us lazy, and i have to stress this again, Music is to be making it sound good from our effort, creativity. Thats why alot of albums now a days sound the same, thats why it sound flat, because of the digital pluggins that everyone was using on their music, even though its the same model, but digital pluggins can never compared to the original stacks, they tend to sound warmer in depth.

More and more studios are shutting down because of this, and because of this, the attitude of the old times are gone, i mean, sessions in studios back then was totally different from what u can produce at home by a mac and those digital stuff....they have rules, strictly for professionals, even a small tiny puny mistakes is not accepted. Thats why in today world, everything is messed up, people dont have respect anymore, once they think they can record something on their computer, they think they know everything, but in fact, they know nothing bout RECORDING A GREAT ALBUM. Though, there is still some hope, they still are some artist that wants to re-create to old times, but to mixed it with modern technology to bring it to the next level, i'll just name a few bands that do it, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Bjork...and more.....

In this post, im not going against technology and company that makes our life easier, im goin against the attitude of modern musicans and engineers. i dont wanna get some cyber wars between someone...just like Dawn is filing a law suit against XiaXue...LOL, in old days, nuclear missiles is used to destroy their opponent, now, its just suing u....hahaha

So time to end my post, have a great day, and rock on.

current mood - freaking down
