Do you think synthesizers and sequencers have had a negative effect on music?
- jakeinspace 4y agoIn some ways, yes! At least for pop. I’m a huge fan of electronic music and synthesizers, but lowering the technical barrier to entry has resulted in some particularly bland pop music over the years making it to the top of the charts, for all the usual reasons of how music promotion is broken. I still think synths, sequencers, drum machines, and DAWs are a net plus to modern music, but there are of course negatives if you look for them.
