Justin Timberlake was. So ever since the 90s ended and we rolled into a new decade, a lot of bands said fuck you to that stuff, realized the computer made recording MUCH cheaper and easier. So they went that route, but didn't know what they were doing yet. Slowly they all are realizing that Pro-tools made everything sound thin and lifeless. So in the past several years, the natural progression toward recording on tape again has come full circle. <BR/>I remember last year writing about how the new "sound" of underground indie rock was that thin buzz of bad microphones plugged into computers. But even that concept has become outdated. There seems to be a natural trend toward recording minimalism coming out of 2008. At least the good music. <BR/>Then there's Vampire Weekend.<BR/>Man, I hate that band.Christopher Animalheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833035293588683858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346706576084645719.post-78935563180545331192008-04-03T07:44:00.000-07:002008-04-03T07:44:00.000-07:00nick from the fake fics here. kind of funny that y...nick from the fake fics here. kind of funny that you mention our new cd in the middle of your post about eschewing protools and other digital fanciness ... we went back to a total diy cassette tape recording process for the new album after some shit results with computers for our last album, and decided to just totally embrace the tape hiss and blown-out sound. trying to avoid being too self-promotional here but we kept <A HREF="http://ffkrakatoa.wordpress.com/" REL="nofollow">a band blog</A> during the recording process that covers some of these issues. you might find it interesting. thanks for dropping our name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
