How do you guys feel about the majority of electronic, rap, and pop music now (at least instrumentals) today being made 100% on computers? Even if something is recorded live with "real" instruments it's probably gonna end up being mixed/mastered on computers anyway, if not, at least recorded into the computer in 24/96 or whatever.

why the fuck does it matter how something is made

professional musician with a degree

it doesn't matter which instrument is used, process only matters if it's novel and artistic a la Cage/Browne etc.

Mixing Desk
Tape Machine
Gramophone

Rap has always been sample based and electronic has always been electronic. Not sure why you posted this tbqh

a degree in music theory? or recording. there's a difference between difference between tracking a guitar with stompboxes, an amp, and microphones, as opposed to plugging in into an interface and using plugin effects.

"electronic" doesn't necessarily mean computers. like in that article, tm88 made like 6 songs in 2 hours. sure laptops and computers can be beneficial, making music quicker and easier, you can also end up with a quantitative approach to music. plus a lot (not all but most) rapper-producer pairs or groups used to hang out in the studio and bounce ideas off each other, now it could literally be a random person on soundcloud with some random beat, that could be your "producer". the process *does* affect the end outcome, believe it or not.

>the process *does* affect the end outcome, believe it or not.
This is really only relevant to the user. Computers don't have to negatively impact anything, and they enable a lot of worthwhile territory that isn't otherwise possible. It really doesn't make a difference, use whatever works for you.

It's not like you can't quickly churn out grindcore or noise without a computer. Or Van Morrison's contractual obligation album. He recorded 31 songs in probably an hour.

I don't really care, there's no real upside to analog production beyond some audiophile snake oil and the fact that it can make weird noises for avant-garde music. I, do, however, hold the opinion that non-analog mastered music being pressed on cassette or vinyl is a total fucking meme.
