And this is why it's getting harder and harder to find decent electronic music that doesn't sound like a chimp threw its shit at a wall; because some wanna-be with no musical skill can download a few loops, layer them up in their cracked FL Studio (or whatever) and over-compress the shit out of it for their "mastering". imo electronic music was much better when there was a barrier to entry in so much as you needed about $5k worth of equipment before you could produce something semi-decent.
- kleer001 7y agoI fell ya, and used to think the same way too. I've even spent that same $5K and got that equipment. However, there's something missing from weekend bedroom producers, the hunger to be the best and dedication of their entirely life to it. How? Open mic gigs, playing festivals, being friends with other producers, having lots of charisma, cranking out the tunes and adapting until one hits that sweet spot over and over again.
- nullandvoid 7y agoI think there's just more noise tbh. The overall output of good music is without a doubt much higher without the 5k barrier to entry - you just have to search harder to find it
