either way, it sounds amateur. I could have the music I write sound similar (in mixing quality) by putting less effort into cleaning it up. It would then be intentional. Artistic? if it is, there's no creativity or message really involved with the process other than "I suck at mixing, and/or I'm too lazy to clean this up". That's not art, that's sloppiness. Clicks and cuts is a much better display of using peaking and popping in a creative format.

odds are, it wasn't intentional. odds are, you're taking the pretentious "artist fucking with listener" backdoor in this discussion. -mark ps: that was not meant as a flame, but an observation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
