Recording is easy now. Not just easy to make a mediocre sounding recording, but easy to make a professional sounding one.
Most of you have no clue if the instruments played on your favorite albums were played by humans or were created by 1’s and 0’s. And that’s fine, probably the way it should be.
But the real takeaway from all this technology is for the artists and songwriters:
You have every sound imaginable at your fingertips. The “its hard to get a good sound” is no longer a crutch. Your real problem is you need better songs.
But writing another song isn’t as fun as adding that 5th synth part on the chorus that’s REALLY going to make your current song hit. Writing is more risky than dialing up your favorite Moog patch. Writing might not make you feel good. Moog always does.
Just write a song we need to hear again.
