Jan,
Quantizing it to make it too rigid would have destroyed everything.
Thx to Jarrett, he got really wild there. But to be sure, it is totally quantized. It’s taken from a transcription and every 16th note or triplet is right on the mark. Strange, isn’t it? Weird even.

I think the three worst enemies of music are quantizing, auto-tune, and needless compression. Quantizing takes the human breathing out of it, auto-tune takes the vocal expression out of it, and compression takes the dynamics out of it.
Amen.

I would agree if Notes quote was re-worded to something like "I think the three worst enemies of music (that can be overly used) are:".
Used in the "right or limited" amounts they all can greatly enhance a project.

Thanks I guess it's a good addition depending on what you mean by overly used. For me, I'll quantize Techno and EDM styles. They need to be, but if the style doesn't require quantization, I practice the part until I get it right and play it in real-time. I don't use auto-tune at all, instead I sing and play on pitch when needed. Sometimes I sing and play a little off pitch, either for tension or to have a couple of parts sound more like just intonation than equal temperament. I don't compress, but I will use a bit of peak limiting if there is a very strong peak that makes the rest of the song so soft that it doesn't "master" with my other tracks. IMO anything more than that is excessive. Of course YMMV. There is more than one right way to make music. EXCEPTION: I will use compression on my guitar, before the recording process. Some guitar parts need it for the sustain and the sound. Insights and incites by Notes
