Exactly ! R&B is the ultimate electronic form, the press have quite

Actually I happen to have read an interview with Mariah Carey's producer.
AKG 414, tracked to 8 separate tracks and then comped together (best
bits and syllables and words) onto one final track. I have heard the
original vocal tracks (before pitch correction) from one major label
female artists and it was beyond hideous.
The Jayhawks (American records) spent three days tracking drums, editing
multiple takes and loops together to get the perfect drum track.
Eventually they hired a session drummer to replace the poor guy (I
thought bands like that were about camarerie and emotion ?).
Synthetics at its finest.
