@mrmattimation It's kinda sad to imagine that if someone like Jimi Hendrix was around today his producer would probably insist on quantizing the final mixes of his records in a DAW (since if you have a trained ear and go back and listen to his stuff you can actually hear parts not in perfect time), but it would totally sterilize the rawness of a lot of his music. Like, I'm not against digital production (and hell, I actually generally prefer it considering how arduous and expensive recording analog can be, not to mention the rate at which lots of analog recording equipment can break down) but as the expression goes it's futile to put lipstick on a pig. Most people can't even notice the difference between analog and digital, and will always veer towards art they simply find compelling for whatever reason.
