Pro Tools and Auto Tune destroys new music. Is the verse repeated somewhere? Just fly the first verse over. Engineers and producers will quantize the song and just put things where they want them. Timings are microsecond perfect every time. It's bare, lifeless and completely sterile. If a new artist wants to, even slightly, disrupt this paradigm they are going to have a hard time making the rent.

- Apocryphon 5y agoI'd argue that advanced and easily-accessible software tools is doing this to most mediums. Personally, I'm very jaded by amazing cinematography, at least physical landscapes, in films these days. It's too easy to go on location (well, less that part), shoot some breathtaking scenery, and after the IMAX footage is digitally processed, make a macOS wallpaper. Or even a smartphone background. Everything looks glossy and spectacular to the point of banality. One of the reasons I was less than overawed by Dune. Technical perfection is too easy to achieve these days, and music is just but one example.
