The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!


I'm not a big Beato fan but he makes some good points at time. This is one of those times IMO. I know some of the younger generation will disagree with the whole premise. Being born in 1951 the boomer gen was hit with the same  indictment about the new Rock & Roll music. There was some truth in it. But we didn't care because we liked R&R. I expect the same from some today who like today's music. but I think if you listen you may find some morsels which can be enlightening. This is especially true for musicians who may find they agree wholeheartedly..

In my opinionRick is correct.  So what is good music?  You need to be able to write a song that will tell a story, play an insturment(s) to convey the message, have the music well recorded, mixed and mastered.  If you think that you can sit at laptop with a variety of plug in's and make a decent song / recording, it's not going to happen.  The music will always be artificial and without any soul.  If you're lucky, you have had some music training including songwriting.  If not you will be lost. 

I don't stream because it doesn't sound as good as hard media and the artists get ripped off.  My brother has a real recording studio and we can count on one hand how many "musicians" have had the perequisites listed above to be successful.  When they do, you do a proper microphone setup and let them play.  It's a pleasure to record them instead of a painful process in ProTools of cuting and pasting segments together because they don't know how to play their insturuments or sing with a crappy song.     

@ immatthewj a good percentage of "unprepared" musicians are younger and think they are ready but are not.  However, it's not limited by age.
