You don't get it The near-ubiquitous adoption of both technologies by people in the music business suggests, to me, that they weren't "just fine" without them. Besides, it's not like they're doing any harm. The Beatles , Zep and Floyd sold Hundreds of Millions of albums when there was no such thing as Pro Tools or I - Tunes. People don't buy Albums anymore, they buy 2 or 3 songs, one of the reasons bands don't sell albums anymore. I think the fact that AC/DC will not put their music on I-Tunes because they say they are not a "Singles" band is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verena Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I do miss the old times when animated cartoons were just drawings. Ok, they still are drew with computer programs, but in most of them I feel like missing 'the human side' when I watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I considered texting, facebook and a few other things but overall they just convenience me a whole lot. My cell phone bill is $10 cheaper per month by not having minutes. I have 50 minutes or something for emergency calls but the brief things I need to tell people can be sent by text. I use facebook to organize jam sessions and get togethers in minutes so that's great. Ultimately, I have to say it's Autotune. So many artists use it to substitute lack of talent or perfect their vocal recordings to pass them off as legitimate and it annoys me. It's a shame because I've seen it used to make some really cool sounds too but that accounts for less than 1% of it's use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
