DDT--


So, fine, you don't think a listener should be concerned about whether he is hearing a drum machine or a drum. Nor should the difference between an accordion and a synthesizer imitating an accordion bother him.    And of course he should be fine with a synthesizer imitating a Steinway.


Let's consult an acknowledged expert, a recording engineer who is probably a pre-eminent authority in the entire world, and see what his views are.

He says:    "There's so many gizmos in the studio you can't trust anything you hear anymore."   He doesn't sound as if he welcomes this development, to put it mildly.

And who is this authority?   It's you, DDT, earlier in the thread,

So now you have contradicted yourself.   I have at least been consistent:   I don't like sythesizers, drum machines, etc.

You have been all over the map.

The suspicion arises that you don't believe a word of what you yourself say;   it's just that a good argument gets your juices flowing.

Well, well, well.
