The tech in music production has gone from hand‑held analog to cloud‑based algorithms, cutting costs but also the human touch. Do you feel that shift is erasing the soul of what you used to play?
Faded
Yeah, I see that. The old days were messy and honest, each hiss and buzz a reminder of where I was. Now everything’s clean and calculated, and it feels like the soul gets lost in the noise of the cloud. I miss that grit.

If you need grit, reintroduce analog gear or limit the processing. Try recording directly into a tape machine or use a minimal plugin chain. Keep the workflow tight and the noise you want will surface again.

Thanks for the thought‑out suggestion, I might give the tape a shot before everything feels too clean. It's probably a small step back to something that used to feel real.

Tape gives a rough edge; check levels and avoid clipping. If you use a real recorder or a tape‑saturation plugin, keep the chain minimal so the grit stays. It’s a quick move back to the sound that felt real.
