Point well taken but I'd rather hear off- key singing and the occasional wrong chord than have to con myself into thinking I'm listening to a genuine performance.....Perhaps I'm in the minority here....... Sometimes the mistakes add to the allure of the song giving them a more "human" touch instead of the sterile treatment that Pro Tools i.e. often can do to a performance live or in the studio......I think this is a major reason that music (Pop and Rock mainly) has been stuck in rut for the last xx? years.......Sorry If I sound like the old fart trying to bring back the horse and buggy......Peace.
Welcome to the site Nitedawg. Nothing wrong with the old horse and buggy! I like a blend of really old instruments and modern electronica. I DO NOT like 'autotune' & 'quantisation' - two processes used extensively in today's music production and part of the downfall of real creativity. But technology does provide one with the ability to do all sorts of things that were once only reserved for those who could afford it. Having said that I have yet to hear a 'virtual' guitar solo that actually sounds like a real guitar. It might happen one day but I have not heard it yet.
You can approximate sounds but you cannot fool the human brain.
