Rick Beato rails against gridding and autotune in music over on YouTube.
My wife, a health outcomes researcher, points out that the expectation is that every little publishable bit be kicked out the door for a pharma project.
Historically, they would have dropped a single summary result at the end of the effort.
Now, she's trying to "autotune" the neutral or even negative results. Nominally in the name of "transparency".
If this is true, the need is a research Adele to come along and shame the riff-raff with sheer natural brilliance.
- Sophistifunk 6y agoWe all know autotune, but what's "gridding"?
- 1986 6y agoI'm guessing this means quantization of a rhythm.
- redis_mlc 6y agoCorrect, it's aligning played musical notes to a bar (measure) on a computer screen. Then almost always, a clone tool is used to repeat that one bar identically dozens of times. So you lose most of the organic nature of music in a mechanical fashion.
- Sophistifunk 6y agoI agree you're losing something that might be valuable, but it's not really part of the music, rather part of the performance. I think there's room for both though, just as we've had studio vs live recordings for the last 50 years or so.
