I will defend the guy who is getting slaged for appreciating any of the
corporate pop that is going around these days.
I dont like the music, but I can appreciate the skill it took those
engineers to get that sound. Just like I might not like alot of
classical guitar playing, but I respect and appreciate it because I know
how much effort it takes. I also appreciate the guys who engineer those
classical records, because it takes a hell of a lot more talent and
knowledge to get a good live mic'ed guitar sound than it does to
randomly fuck up a text file converted to wav. in hyperprism and call it
art music.
I bet if the people who talk shit about real audio engineers were to go
into the studio with professionals, they would be made to realize how
ignorant they really are.
You dont get gigs like that unless you have hella credentials. It takes
a lot of talent to get into a position to make records like those. I
might not like the music itself, but I know enough about engineering to
be able to respect what the guys behind those records did.
I know it isnt immediately obvious. Once you get into recording music,
you will understand how hard it really is to make a commercial pop
record.
take care

"I see it as melodious, as masking the clatter of knives and forks
without drowning it completely, without imposing itself. It would fill
up the awkward silences which occasionally descend on guests. It would
save them the usual banalities. Moreover it would neutralize the street
noises that indiscreetly force themselves into the picture."
