It’s the same thing we heard from musicians who didn’t want to learn technology in the 70’s: using a synth or sequencer means it’s not “real music”.
Those purists are mostly dead. Everyone uses technology in music today. And music is better for it.
- ask_b123 4y agoThere are still purist being born (not me tbf). And I'm glad for that.
- brookst 4y agoAre there really still purists who don’t just reject technology for their own music, but who insist that any music that uses technology is somehow not real art? I haven’t met anybody like that in 30 years.
- datpiff 4y ago> in the 70’s > Those purists are mostly dead Genius argument there buddy
- brookst 4y agoI don’t understand the point of your insulting response. Younger generations grew up with technology. Just being part of music. Music goes on just fine, nobody makes that stupid argument anymore.
- buggy6257 4y agoPeople born in the 70s are 53 at most. They are almost certainly not "mostly dead" yet.
- explaininjs 4y agoNobody said anything about people born in the 70's. They said "musicians who didn’t want to learn technology in the 70's", which is clearly different. Those musicians were probably 30+ in the 70's, making them 83+ now. Life expectancy of someone who reaches 30 is 48 years, so yes: most of them are dead now.

- squidsoup 4y agoSynthesisers and sequencers don't write music for you, that's not a meaningful comparison.
