A couple of weeks ago, I posted "Maybe it is YOU that is the Problem!"....And really, it probably is, BUT YOU can also be the solution.
Our world is rapidly redefining our interpreted value in a chaos-laden monetary world. Fair or not, it is true.....and, to be real, it is somewhat sad....
Imagine working your life, or dedicating any reasonable part of it, to learning a skill or making a career of it.....Perhaps you were on a team that helped pioneer a technology, or maybe even were the visionary behind it.....only....only to discover that your skill set is no longer needed or valued in the marketplace......HOW FAIR IS THAT? In essence, you helped build the machine that is now disrupting life as you have known it.
Obviously, technology and music are no strangers. Automation has been creeping its way into music for decades...and now, we have PROMPT-derived music.
The opinions are all over the place as to what is acceptable. More than a few decades ago, it was the piano players who were upset with the invention of electronic keyboards. Shortly thereafter, drum machines upset our percussive brothers and sisters. Along the way came MIDI, which pretty well led the path to being able to replace instrumentalists. When autotune and voice pitch correction became a thing, those who had spent thousands of hours training their voices saw people with little to no vocal talent presenting impressive tracks. And here we are, where really...anything goes. Have you heard those tracks from that guy who farts into SUNO and creates amazing songs? ANYTHING GOES!
So, how does this circle back to YOU? Join me next week, and I will share just how.
(Note: I am a master of ignorance, so...before you get your craw tweaked, realize that I am the expert who isn't....)
Lots and lots of love; ALWAYS!

PS - I didn't make mention of the audio engineers, without whom none of this would even be relevant! A heart felt thank you to all of you!
