I mean, there's a difference between nudging a few notes right and just running quantize over the entire recording.

> so getting the point of the composition across is my priority. I'll auto-tune and quantize whatever if the composition comes across better.

Which also means you might even move things out of sync/tune if the composition asked for it, right? The point mentioned here is just the trend of lazy fully gridded mixes where the entire song is the exact bpm all the way through and nothing strays off the grid.

It also gives musicians a false sense of skill if the producer just gives thumbs up and all they hear back is their own quantized drums. Instead of, you know, practicing and actually nailing the beat.

If all you do is quantize it to the grid, why even bother setting up a drumkit to record. We all know those hits are being sample replaced anyway, might as well just pull up the midi kit.

It does happen where drummers are recorded and it's just quantized to 8th notes in the DAW. Simply due to lack of communication between the musician and the producer, or because of some chase of rhythmic perfection. Especially in a lot of modern metal, where you will barely find a swung beat anymore.

To be fair, football hooligans do look like violent protestors. Except, the only thing they seem to be protesting is their brains.

Agreed, their entire communication relies on taking jabs at "the other guy". Just make a good product.

If you need to tell people you're better than someone, you probably aren't.

If machines are writing articles, why am I reading all their prose. Might as well have my machine summarize them into something more digestible.

Isn't a machine still writing them if you do that?

Of all the things I've had to deal with with migrating solutions and frameworks. Generating API keys and setting environment variables are the least time consuming of all of them.

Welp, there goes one of the big selling points of one of my old employers.

To be fair, I also do my best work when I get to swear like a sailor.
