I don't know why i'm going against my better judgement and asking this, or
even why this bugs me...
Why Billy, is Pro Tools for 'dumb fools'? As a full time studio owner who in
the last 12 years and over 300 projects has been through analogue tape and
desks, digital tape and desks and now works with Pro Tools every day, why am
i a dumb fool now? Did you just fall for the 'Pro Tools is evil' bullshit
that people like to spin when talking about 'the good old days' or do you
have a bona fide reason for labeling PT users both 'dumb' and 'foolish'? It
is after all, just a recording medium, but one that, from my point of view
has seen the quality of my records, as an artist and as a producer,
generally go through the roof sonically, artistically and creatively in the
last 2 and a half years.
Not meaning to sound flippant, or in any way accusitory, or to start a
fight. I'm just fascinated by the psychology behind such statements....
Tweak out..
MC (who once got into a 'pushy-shovey' fight over digital vs analogue
tape... and hopes he doesn't have to equate the ridicule of technological
progress to calling Les Paul, Joe Meek, George Martin and Phil Spector to
name only 4 innovators in the studio 'frauds')
