Anon doesn't like the doors
(lemmy.ml)
I love the doors, but this gave me a good laugh
Im sure the creeps on 4chan would love all these older musicians if they took the time to read about them, and how they were basically all abusing kids
I strongly suspect, I wouldn’t like whatever „music“ anon listens to either

Still better than anything with autotune.
2008 ass take 😂
Said the kid who doesn't understand what imaging is.

Your brain must be wired wrong, you're repeating yourself.
a sphincter says what?
Usually matter in all three mayor states moving anround getting over an edge. And you can lick a very specific sphincter of my body. Preferably after my first bowel movement.
id rather not thanks. your mother is into it though
The vast majority of songs these days use autotune, you just can't hear it because it's being used properly to fix when the singer is slightly off key.
The "autotune" sound only happens when the artist is purposefully singing off key.
Almost true. The "autotune effect" only appears if you dial the knobs all the way up when setting up the effect. But you are correct that properly used autotune is pretty much not noticeable.
Using autotune also does not automatically make you a bad singer. T-Pain is very known for the autotune effect he uses on his vocals, but he is an amazing singer even without using it.
Why do you hate autotune? Some artists use it as a sound effect
Because it has no soul. Like a lot of digital electronic music. Hit a drum in a nice space and listen to the sound. Now listen to a high-end recording of that and you'll be able to make out the sound of the room. Music that has been autotuned is similar to listening to electronic drums. No depth or soul to it because it's synthetic. Btw: If you're listening to crappy buds or Bluetooth it won't matter anyways because the fidelity is already lost.
this is the most boomer-ass fucking take on electronic music i’ve ever heard.
hey, 1989 called and it wants its “electronic music has no soul and lacks the human element^TM” tirade back…
i’ve heard people make music on synths and computers that has more “soul” and more meaning than any “real” musicians, as you might call it. you’re denigrating people’s work not for the quality of the work itself but because you have some weird, backwards stereotype in your head preventing you from even giving it a proper chance.
I never mentioned human element. I'm talking about sound quality strictly. Live is best, then well recorded music that gets you close to live sound. Then electronic music that is flat and lacks sonic details because there aren't any.
that’s a pretty ignorant take still. electronic music is plenty capable of having “sonic details” nowadays. in fact, because of a lot of the ML advances lately, you can emulate pretty much any sound profile digitally now. this was becoming true even before people had the idea to use ML solutions to do it, too.
virtually all music you listen to that was produced after 1980 has had electronic production done to it. live shows now are actively mixed as the show happens. “well recorded music” is actually more about electronic post-production than picking just the right shangri-la-esc recording locale, now. you associate “flat” and “lacking sonic details” with electronic music for no other reason than ignorance. you’re discounting the work of thousands of engineers and billions of man hours who make those “best” live shows and “well-recorded” music you hold so dear even possible, and it’s incredibly disrespectful at best.
the quality of audio has vastly improved in the modern period largely thanks to electronic music. live and recorded music used to sound like shit, comparatively. take off your rose-colored goggles and see, man.
Now that is funny. Even recording engineers lament the loss of fidelity. Especially after the loudness wars. If you have a good stereo and good treats it's ready to hear the difference yourself. It's part of the reason daft Punk used real musicians and why their album was so highly praised for its sound.
I have those fake sound profiles on my stereo and they always sound worse than direct audio.
Youre right, and likely the person arguing doesn't have a nice listening setup and has only had ear buds. Nothing wrong with that, but they shouldn't pretend to know quality sound.
Many people today have never even heard a decent stereo setup which is super sad. Thats why they have no idea what theyre missing. I get it though. Not everyone is sound obsessed.
Finally somebody who gets it
what and who the fuck do you think makes your “nice listening setup” possible? the goddamn fae??
jesus christ you two are dripping in pretension, patent waste of time…
lmfao, it has nothing to do with knowing quality and everything to do with knowing where your fucking food comes from and not being an upstuck, privileged brat over it.
Wow, you're quite angry. No further responses will be granted.
Bruh, what a boring elitist take. I don't even want to take the bait and engage into long discussion about the topic which seemed outdated 30 years ago. Björk already put it perfectly:
Plus, if you can't hear pure emotion and see soul in such songs with autotune as yet another instrument, it's probably your lack of perception, not the artist's fault:
Enjoying audio quality is elitist now? That's sad. When I was young every young person wanted a great stereo. 😞
Btw Bjork puts tremendous effort into the audio quality of her music.
Enjoying audio quality is elitist now?
Nah, saying that music with autotune/electronic music has no soul. And claiming with zero evidence that everyone who disagrees with you just has bad sound equipment

I firmly believe that high-res bluetooth codecs have way more fidelity than my ears have left after years of enjoying music

Im likely the only one who will agree with you, except in my mind there's nothing wrong with electronic drums when used in the right context. Otherwise, youre right but the pop music lovers are getting offended haha. Very very few artists today have the skill of the 60s and 70s artists recording to tape, that shit is HARD and kids have no clue the talent it took then. Now its all samples and easy as shit to make a song (and why the market is oversaturated and very difficult to find authentic good music that isnt completely quantized). However i will say if you look very hard you find amazing music now but it takes effort.
CIA funded circus music, lol. It all makes sense now

Hey man, let's take some poorly written beat poetry and put it over mediocre guitar compositions. Then we can take a talented keyboardist but make him play the shittiest sounding electric organ. And we can make sure the recording makes it all sound like a cat and some tin cans in a dryer.
I'm partial to talented keyboardists playing shitty sounding electric organs myself. Shoutout to Deep Purple.
Didn't Jon Lord use a Hammond organ? One of the best sounding instruments ever.

Yeah the Doors had great songs and long shit songs, like every band.
The Beatles had long shit songs, Led Zeppelin, Kanye, Gustav Mahler...
The Beatles had long shit songs
Such as?
Number ... Nine?
I'm not a White Album fan, lots of self indulgent stuff.
Lol fair enough, you've found the one Beatles song worth skipping
I sang Beatles songs to my kids as their lullabies and in parts with them today, I consider them the greatest band of all time, and they still had clinkers.
"For the Benefit of Mister Kite" is also kinda meh.
“For the Benefit of Mister Kite” is also kinda meh.
You fucking what mate?
K & H will assure the production will be second to none, but you are not invited
And that means you will never see Henry the Horse dance the waltz
That's ok, I can hang out in Strawberry Fields forever.
