I blame "Protools" (and variants) in making it possible for
musicians to become their own recording, mixing and mastering
engineers. End result 99% of the time is schlock. But when
crammed into the MP3 format you can't tell just how schlocky the
schlock really is. (Even my half-deaf musician wife can tell
when something has been compressed--at least she doesn't pretend
to know how to run a mixer beyond the basics).
"Protools" (and variants) have so many "plugins" that you don't
even have to know what it's doing. Ask them to create a wall of
sound from a single mono sound source without a plugin? Hah!
Ask them to position the sound WITHOUT using the pan control or
a WAVES plugin? Hah! Ask them to put "gloss" on a vocal? Huh?
But, hey, we've got Finalyzers--who cares how they work.
Somebody had to develop the code though. :)
