chopping drums without even listening to the take is the extreme on one side. but what about being so determined to create a monumental piece of art that you go completely off the deep end, the other way. can their be an extreme the other way? if so, what is it? what are some examples of it? i believe there is an extreme on that side, but i can't name what it would be or an example of it. so i'm curious.............. |

i'm looking for an example of the opposite end of editing and chopping out of habit. |

my mind was fucking floored the first time i heard the drums on u.s. maple, long hair in three stages... i still think it's thier best record. it was the first "band" jim o'rourke recorded. everything about that record turned what i throught a band or record was sposed to be upside down. |

Or is this some way to toggle between different takes that reside on the same track? |

I beleive it is in the musicians best interest to actually know how to play thier instrument. |

I think Originality is really only a horizon, you can't really ever get there without moving the line. And I don't think history always remembers the people who do things first, more likely it favors those who do things around the same time and move the most units or have the best publicist. |

hahahaha that's funny.....i just mentioned it in passing... and i knew i forgot to talk to you about something. this was the topic. oh well, i was busy looking for baby oatmeal....stupid gorcery store. i'm looking for an example of the opposite end of editing and chopping out of habit. it's like all the rock records today have a dogma attached to their production. no matter what the material is the engineer just instantly starts chopping to a grid. there is no forethought, it's a blind impulse driven by what the think is the "rule" for production. i think there is an opposite to that. some one who intentionally makes records that push the line between happy accident and straight up bad playing because they feel so convicted by their own thoughts and ideas about what "art" is, they have been blinded to what is happening in the tracking rooms. |
