In Rick Beato's view, technological progress has lately backfired on music. The convergence of computers and music production is now complete, making any sound theoretically possible at virtually no cost. But “the creative dependence on technology limits the ability of people to innovate,” and “the overreliance on similar tools” brings about “a lack of diversity” and a persistence of formulaic trend-following.
@thewebrecluse Beato makes some valid points, but he misses one big thing - that everyone is using the SAME SOFTWARE.
It's why so much sounds exactly the same - it's being processed by the same algorithms. Makes me crazy. It's the prime reason I've never used Pro Tools.
I can almost always tell when an artist uses Pro Tools.
@Animeraider It's the same with web design, video editing, and everything else. My tribemate goes on and on about this a lot. There is no freedom in the tools and if you can't afford the tools you're stuck with limited software to create - which sometimes can be a good thing. Everything looks the same across the board with creative design.
