Yeah computers have improved so much lately. I still remember when bands would search for weird analogue stuff to make the desired sound, like playing a guitar in part though the speakers of a tape recorder lol.
lol i mean i guess experimentation can be cool. it's just like anything else, it's the shutting yourself off to "only these ways of getting sound are valid" where it becomes :cringe: or thinking that that way is arbitrarily better bc you did some arcane or other shit to get there. I think as long as the music sounds good to people that's all that matters.
lol i just released a song with a popular post hardcore singer and all the guitars are DI'd and using plugins for amps and the drums are completely midi I just sound replaced the kick, snare, and toms with slate drums to make them sound a bit more real. My teenage/early 20s self would be talking so much shit about it haha but it's out and got picked up on New Alt so :shrug-outta-hecks:
