I only do instrumental tracks many of you guys can't get your heads around.
I checked out your Soundcloud stuff, since I didn't want to sell you short on any vocals/singing you might have done (but there was none)...and like I said, you play well enough, but if you think that stuff is too deep for most of the guys here......you really need to get out more often.
Most of it was rather "lounge lizard muzak" flavor (maybe it's all the songs with synth-only tracks that make it seem that way)...and even if the playing was done well..there's nothing there really complex.
I started recording vocal tracks years before you guys were even born.
........................
I have recorded vocals and hundreds of bands since 1963.
I would think after 50+ years of recording you would have more than synth-only tracks to post.
Nothing wrong with synths/MIDI...and I think you're saying it's OK to do some pitch correction as long as it's not noticeable...and I'm in agreement with that... but then you can't really take the position that it's "fake".
If anyone is going to be a stickler for "real" VS "fake"...and then grab amp sims and tons of MIDI synths that emulate the real thing...why draw the line at vocals?
I also said earlier that based on the amount of manipulation people do in the DAW to "get their sound" it is no different...but some folks think they retain a higher level of integrity if they stop the manipulation at vocals...ok whatever, everyone needs to find their own morality/ethics comfort zone.
I also think that talking about it on open forums brings out the religion to a much higher level...but in the studio, behind closed doors, we're all "sinners" at one time or another.
I say it's ALL good when done in moderation if it serves the production without hitting some absolute level of faking and cheating where little of what's left is real/original.
