      @mrmattimation The pedantic audio engineer in me wants to say "well, almost all music has some kind of sound effect" but I take it that's not what you mean. Would you be able to clarify for me what it is you're referring to when you say "sound effect"?

        @narwhal Like how you can hear audience cheering for a very good portion of Kanye West's "Homecoming", or when a crappy west coast 2010 rap song has gunfire and sirens.

          @mrmattimation So traditionally non-musical samples in otherwise musical recordings? Yeah I'm fine with that. I don't think it'll be used effectively or meaningfully in every instance, but in lots of cases fully crafting a song is more than just "play these notes on these instruments" so I think there's a place for the kinds of sounds you're referring to in both popular and niche music.

            @narwhal I hate when I'm driving along and a song has sirens, though.

              @scribus Yeah, I can understand the annoyance there. Lots of songs don't translate well to a car listening environment.
