T PAIN EFFECT AND THE BENEFITING FROM THE D.A.W.

SO WE ALL HEARD THIS PHENOM ON AND OFF STARTING WITH THE VOCODER THRU THE 80'S AND THEN AGAIN THRU THE BRITTANY/BOY BAND AGE AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S CONQUERED THE AIRWAVES THE LAST FEW YEARS BETWEEN AKON AND T PAIN EXERCISING IT'S DIGITAL SOUND HIT AFTER HIT WHEN LOOKING AT IT FROM A RADIO/VIDEO PERSPECTIVE. LOOK AT THE HOUSE HOLD NAMES THAT ADOPTED THE STYLE RECENTLY THAT TOOK THE RADIO/CLUB/INDUSTRY SCENE BY STORM, LIL WAYNE, KANYE WEST, DJ KID CUDDIE, DRIZZY DRAKE (EVEN THOUGH HE DOESN'T NEED TO USE IT, AND DOES IT TASTEFULLY BIG-UPS) TILL JAY-Z DROPPED THE SINGLE D.O.A.(DEATH OF AUTO-TUNE) I WAS GETTING WORRIED LOL...I ALREADY DON'T LISTEN TO THE RADIO AS IT IS, I WAS GETTING TIRED OF HEARING THE T-PAIN EFFECT EVERY TIME I SEARCHED THRU THE STATIONS THOUGH.

I'M NOT GONNA DOG THE IDEA OF GIVING THE ABILITY TO SOMEONE WITH THE PASSION TO SING BUT CAN'T CARRY A NOTE AT ALL OR A SINGER WHO'S MORE MONO TONE AND WANTS TO EXTEND HIS/HER VOCAL RANGE OR WANTS TO ADD A TWIST TO A SONG OR 2 ITS JUST ANOTHER PAINT BRUSH FOR THE ART OF MUSIC. I'M JUST SAYING TO BASE YOUR WHOLE CAREER AROUND A SINGLE EFFECT HAS PROVEN A SUCCESS BUT A TREND IS A TREND. PERSONALLY I NEVER CARED FOR IT SO I NEVER FELT THE NEED TO WANT TO USE IT. ME BEING AN ENGINEER I HAFT TO CATER TO THE INDIVIDUAL'S WANTING THAT SOUND SO I DO PROVIDE IT...


NOW WHAT THE INTERNET DID TO BIG BUSSINESS IS WHAT DIGITAL RECORDING DID TO MAJOR LABELS, THE INTERNET ALSO KILLED RECORD SALES OBVIOUSLY BUT I'M NOT FEELING SORRY FOR OIL COMPANY'S COMAPANIES(THATS A WHOLE OTHER POST). SO BACK TO THE DAW (DIGITAL AUDIO WORK STATION) NOT ONLY HAS IT WIPED RECORDING TO TAPE NEARLY COMPLETELY OFF THE PLANET IT HAS ALSO IN A WAY IMPACTED THE SOUL OF MUSIC IN A POSITIVE WAY ECONOMICALLY, AND IN A NEGATIVE WAY FOR THE CLASSICALLY TRAINED VOCALISTS/MUSICIANS WHEN IT COMES TO WORK ETHIC AND WORK PERIOD. ESPECIALLY FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS, MAKING MUSIC IS AS EASY AS A FEW CLICKS THESE DAYS WITH ALL OF THE MUSIC PRODUCTION SOFTWARE THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE AVERAGE ARTIST/CONSUMER! MUSICIANS NO LONGER HAFT TO PLAY WITH PERFECTION ANY MORE, I THINK THE IDEA OF RECORDING TO TAPE GAVE THE ARTIST MORE OF A REASON TO PUT MORE EFFORT INTO THEIR PERFORMANCE BECAUSE REELS OF TAPE ARE A LIL MORE COSTLY THAN JUST PRESSING AN UNDO BUTTON. TODAY AS LONG AS YOU SING/PLAY THE CORRECT NOTE SOMEWHERE ON A TRACK YOU CAN SIMPLY CUT AND PASTE FROM NUMEROUS TAKES AND REPLACE ANY POO NOTES HEHE... (WHICH TO ME IS GREAT IN MOST CASES BUT I'M A FAN OF CAPTURING A ARTIST'S PERFORMANCE FROM BEGINNING TO END IN ORDER TO GET THE RAW ENERGY OUT OF THE ARTIST) DOES MUSIC HAFT TO BE PERFECT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE COMPLETELY CERTAIN MISTAKES ARE SOMETIMES THE KEEPERS AND CAN ADD EVEN MAKE A SONG STAND OUT THAT MUCH MORE INSTEAD, NOW ALL YOU HAFT TO DO IS COPY AND PASTE HOOK AND VERSE PARTS INSTEAD OF SINGING OR PLAYING YOUR PART THROUGH THE WHOLE SONG . NOW SAVING TIME AND MONEY IN THE STUDIO IS UNDENIABLE, MUSICIANS HAFT TO REALIZE IT IS NICE TO HAVE PITCH CORRECTION TOOLS AND CUT/COPY FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE BUT WHY ABSOLUTELY DEPEND ON THEM ALL THE TIME BE A PERFECTIONIST KEEP MUSIC ORGANIC AND ORIGINAL, PUT THAT EXTRA EFFORT IN, MAYBE YOU'LL SING OR PLAY A LINE OR HIT A WORD DIFFERENTLY THAN U ORIGINALLY PLANNED THAT WOULD SOUND BETTER AND MORE INVENTIVE.... LET'S MAKE TIMELESS MUSIC FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME...DON'T GET LAZY


THE DAW HAS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE BEING A RECORDING ENGINEER IN A MAJOR RECORDING STUDIO IS A "DYING PROFESSION"..WITH YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE AND PRODUCTION RELATED FORUM WEBSITES AVAILABLE ANY ONE CAN LEARN THE TRADE ALL IT TAKES IS THE MONEY FOR THE EQUIPMENT AND THE WILL AND PATIENCE TO LEARN...THE DAW BEING SO AFFORDABLE HAS OVER SATURATED THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WITH ALOT OF GARBAGE MUSIC TO WEED THROUGH IN ORDER TO FIND TRULLY TALENTED UP AND COMING ARTISTS...TO MY TRULLY TALENTED AND ASPIRING ARTISTS OUT THERE YOUR HEAD AND KEEP DOING YOU, GET MONEY (SAVE FOR FUTURE INVESTING) AND NETWORK LIKE A MANIAC ONLINE AND IN THE STREETS IT CAN ONLY INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF RECOGNITION FROM THE RIGHT PEOPLE!!! JUST LIKE ALOT OF CAREERS ITS 90% WHO YOU KNOW AND 10% WHAT YOU KNOW, AND THAT GOES WITH THE SAYING " U GOTTA BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME" REMEMBER THAT!!
