that’s a pretty ignorant take still. electronic music is plenty capable of having “sonic details” nowadays. in fact, because of a lot of the ML advances lately, you can emulate pretty much any sound profile digitally now. this was becoming true even before people had the idea to use ML solutions to do it, too.
virtually all music you listen to that was produced after 1980 has had electronic production done to it. live shows now are actively mixed as the show happens. “well recorded music” is actually more about electronic post-production than picking just the right shangri-la-esc recording locale, now. you associate “flat” and “lacking sonic details” with electronic music for no other reason than ignorance. you’re discounting the work of thousands of engineers and billions of man hours who make those “best” live shows and “well-recorded” music you hold so dear even possible, and it’s incredibly disrespectful at best.
the quality of audio has vastly improved in the modern period largely thanks to electronic music. live and recorded music used to sound like shit, comparatively. take off your rose-colored goggles and see, man.
Now that is funny. Even recording engineers lament the loss of fidelity. Especially after the loudness wars. If you have a good stereo and good treats it’s ready to hear the difference yourself. It’s part of the reason daft Punk used real musicians and why their album was so highly praised for its sound.
I have those fake sound profiles on my stereo and they always sound worse than direct audio.
Youre right, and likely the person arguing doesn’t have a nice listening setup and has only had ear buds. Nothing wrong with that, but they shouldn’t pretend to know quality sound.
Many people today have never even heard a decent stereo setup which is super sad. Thats why they have no idea what theyre missing. I get it though. Not everyone is sound obsessed.
what and who the fuck do you think makes your “nice listening setup” possible? the goddamn fae??
jesus christ you two are dripping in pretension, patent waste of time…
lmfao, it has nothing to do with knowing quality and everything to do with knowing where your fucking food comes from and not being an upstuck, privileged brat over it.
