Would have Miles Davis, John Coltrane or Vivaldi revolutionised music if they had used blank drumloops? Be honest.
As for Rock drummers not having the right feeling to play Funk, I agree. It's like many people trying to play "Little Wing" with a straight feeling... :-)
Listen to some the examples I've given you before you discredit them.
Mind you, he did not compose it; it was produced by Easy Mo Bee. Furthermore, this album was released in 1991 and by then, Miles had already done his revolution...
I'm sorry, I should have developed a tad, this would had spared you the term "jackass"...
Good night.
As for editing tape... Well, first you cannot make a mistake, for once the tape is cut, it's hard to put it back together.
Second ProTools allows you to modify and move each note if it is wrongly placed... Well, music is great because it is NOT 100% perfect. If you erase the human element from art, there is no more art, is there?
Because of ProTools, someone who cannot sing, can now sing in tune but where it sincerity???
Hence my coment that technology killed music.
Using a manual is learning how to use a device, while music theory is learning rules, assimilating them, then creating something...
As for lacking knowledge and intelligence, well... I know, I'm sooooooo stupid, I should make Techno or Rap...
And since sample-basic "music" is so creative, then why people who make it need samples in the first place? They should be able to create from scratch without using someone else's work.
Things like Frank Zappa's Jazz from Hell or Mothers of Prevention?
Pushing buttons is not what sample based music is about - it needs musical theory too, AND you have to know how to work with a vast number of electronic instruments (you can even create your own instruments).
Pulling the strings on the guitar and plugging it into an amp is easy, so does that mean that Jimi Hendrix is not a musician?
And why do drummers need DRUMS in the first place?!?!? Why can't they make music, without the drums?
As for playing the guitar being easy... You're not a guitarist yourself, are you?
Drums can't record a bit a music and play it without a human actually playing it. Polyrhythms are incredibly complex.
And yes, I am for real, I am no script-bot :)
I agree that knowledge doesn't make a great musician. It takes genius. And as Stravinski said, genius is 90% work, 10% talent. Technology allows people to put sounds together without work, which is why it's bad.
As for the means employed, I do believe they're relevant. Music is human.
And so playing an instrument is not about having control? Comming from a drummer, this is funny :-)
It's programming, I know, sorry.
Now, if people like sample-based music, it's their problem, not mine. I have a collection of more than 850 albums. As a consequence, I can live in musical autarchy...
By the way, what kind of music do you play?
