I think the strategies in the book are timeless
- fzzzy 7y agoWell, I was thinking specifically about the instruction to use ABABCBB form for a song, which was great in the 80s and 90s, but would produce a song that was way too long for today's tastes, I think. I believe you when you say there are many timeless lessons in the book.
- rock_hard 7y agoYeah you have to adapt the tactics to the modern times The key lesson here issnt to use a ABABCBB arrangement but to research whatever the successful arrangement of your time is and to apply it
- fzzzy 7y agoThanks! That's a great insight. The book really does emphasize steeping yourself completely in pop in order to absorb as much as possible. Also, I guess the tracking engineer would be up on the latest styles and able to assist with this. I wonder if there are still big studios you could convince to book studio time with net 90 terms? I suppose there must be. So much modern music is just bedroom recordings nowadays but I'm sure fancy studios still exist.
