if youre using the technology like it was supposed to be used in Celine Dion's studio then thats lazy associations of how music should sound.

Barty has trolled you really hard. :D

I think the songs in this thread are good. They sound good. You think they sound awful. And that's alright. And there's interesting ways to talk about that difference in opinion but I don't think we are managing to talk about that difference in an interesting way. We are failing in our duty to be interesting.

Nah they aren't awful, it's more that they are songs rather than slabs of sound. Songs are antiquated.

Anytime a disagreement turns into an arm wrestle it's automatically boring. I feel we are in danger of arm wrestling. We don't need to do that. And also i feel very sleepy. I agree songs are regressive. I've said so here before more than once.

I just think the technophobes have a point in an inverted way. If you humanise the machine, then why not just listen to humans who have done it better for years?

thats not to say i don't have a soft spot for humanised machines - i like a lot of 90s ambient techno, some early young thug, etc, etc.

But i try not to lean too much into that modality otherwise it becomes kitschy.

If barty was a music head in 1994 he'd 100% be an idm head assuming he had the same value set.

Lo-fi music is best when it's unintentionally lo-fi, limitations breed creativity. I don't think it ever really works if it's contrived somehow.

Wrt Dean blunt, I remember reading an interview with him saying he didn't understand why people used plug-ins to make things sound more crappy, his sound was just lo-fi because all he had was effects peddles and crappy recording equipment he didn't know how to use. he couldve been saying that to create an air of authenticity but I think it was probably genuine. was shortly before he released the much glossier than usual and pretty uninspiring "Redeemer" LP I think.
