Power of editing

2007-04-27 by Paul Schreiber

Reading Ken's missive and thinking about how Tomita/Wendy never really "played"
any of their compositions all the way through: it was massive
editing/splicing/layering. Then was talking to a fellow MOTM'er that probably
95% of the records made today, the band/singer never played/sang the who song
all the way from start to finish. It's massive ProTools "snippets",
pitch-corrected/EQ'd/etc. Does anyone every make a "real song" anymore? I
remember seeing Harry Chapin play 3 weeks before he died: still the best concert
I ever went to (by a mile). 1 person singing, 4 playing. Greatness.

Which brings me to this:
