It's hilarious to me how the "modern" "Up to date" sound is a drum machine that flopped in the '80s, and the keyboard sounds we considered corny in the'90s.
Seriously, if you had a s**tty keyboard in the '90s, not good enough to have good sounds, that's what they love now, lmao. And the 808 flopped because it was too expensive considering the fact it sounded nothing like real drums. It didn't catch on until it was out of production and $50 in pawn shops. For $50, it was worth it.
I know because I had them and played them. We had LoFi too, we called it "my equipment sucks." LMAO
And don't get me started on modern mixing. They literally clip fidelity off the waveform (and sound quality), for perceived loudness on S**T devices. Then, they say classic mixes are "lifeless," because if it don't sound like s**t, they can't feel it. They distort s**t on purpose, and again literally chop data off the sound for perceived loudness. Limiting was foul enough, and sounded horrible, but loud. Clipping took that s**t to the next horrible level.
They don't even know what dynamics means (changes in volume like actual music played by humans), and their wave forms look like a tube. Get mad if you want to, every word of this is fact and I have receipts.
