A very interesting video that compares the methods, skills, conditions, and equipment used in music recording from the past and today.
Some surprising findings include, for example, that live music ultimately sounds more interesting precisely because of minor imperfections, and that while modern technology offers a wide range of possibilities, it usually results in a boring, uniform sound.

Good find on this video, Dieter. I reckon it’s not so much the recording quality as the actual songs that were recorded. There are lots of Youtube videos about “why is modern music so bad?”. And lately I’ve been realizing a sad truth: Younger people really are suffering from brain rot due to excessive doom-scrolling on their devices. Their brains just can’t appreciate the complexity of music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s….the golden age of Classic Rock. And so, as Billy Hume has pointed out here, we have arrived at a time when many of the most widely listened to new songs were totally created on computers without using any actual musical instruments. What’s more, even I can do it if I wanted to, and I’m not really a computer guru. Logic Pro comes bundled with so many software instruments and music samples – even including vocal clips – that it wouldn’t take me much more than an hour to create a complete song.

I’ll look forward to checking this video out. But was thinking about this the other day in the car. We have Sirius radio and I often have on 40s, 50s or Willie’s Roadhouse. But then my daughter asked to listen to The Pulse which is modern music. Switching from a Buck Owen’s tune to Lana Del Rey is pretty striking!
