Well, yeah. Humans have made crap music since the dawn of our species. That doesn’t refute my point, unless your implication is that the amount of crap music today is decreasing, rather than exponentially increasing, due to the lowered barrier to entry of music production.Joe Dolce's Shaddapayaface (or whatever it was called) managed to get to no.1 and keep one of the 80's classic and best songs (imo) at no.2 - Vienna, just in case you forgot. This what is laughingly called a song was written, performed and recorded entirely in the analogue world without the aid of any DAW or sequencer. Goes to show that musical vomitus doesn't need DAWs to be bad. There was plenty of shite around before DAWs already....which explains why the music is sooooooo much better today than it was before people assembled their music one mouse-click at a time while staring at a computer monitor.25 years or so ago using hardware like the mpc series sequencers were fun but there is just so much you can do now with a DAW like Ableton.
And, I’m not even saying that it’s a bad thing. It’s great that anybody who wants to make music can do it with very little investment these days. The tradeoff is…
…there is still plenty of good new music to be had, you just have to work a bit harder to find it.
