Re: [ARSCLIST] Quarter-inch splicing tabs...



Protools and other software only allows it to be more and faster - lifeless productions predate even digital, as witness the previous comments on 78s.

Perhaps it is the 'perfection of the human imperfections' that makes the

hide poor performance. Or perhaps to ruin a wonderful human
interpretation of the music....


Tools and equipment are wonderful, until used simply because they are
there. I own them myself, including Pro Tools, so their worth is
apparent to me, but also the flaws in the thinking that can entrap the
user. Hiding poor performances or in particular poor production planning
during recording strikes me as simply being lazy or desperate to save
the unsaveable.
