@GuitarSith @strayhorse @NigelTufnel I do believe that the accessibility of DAWs has changed how music sounds (generally). You can indeed manipulate the minutiae of every sound, multi track to your hearts content - there is nothing wrong with that at all - but it sounds different at least to me when compared to the taped multitracking we used to do or live music.

I do wonder how this has affected musicians and listeners. (Sorry toot a little off track....)
