Insofar as the debate between "real" and "synthetic" is concerned, I have a few thoughts.

In one sense I no longer pay much attention to the debate, whereas I used to. It just does not seem logical, since people should be able to do whatever they want, really.

I use to hang with some people who went on to become super famous back in the day, and let's say those people were "arteests" for lack of a better expression, and could be a little picky, or even a wee bit snotty. BUT, some of them did win some Grammys and stuff, and are household names now. However, there were rules. Unless you played through a Fender Tweed with no effects, and didn't use DX7s and wouldn't even dream of a gated snare and lived off of oat bran, you just weren't real and no one should take you seriously. (Kinda being silly here, but you get what I mean.)

My point is, if people saw us today using the gimmicks we use and even BIAB they would drop dead, right after saying How Dare You! Then they would have a heart attack and fall over. How Dare you!!!! It's not real!!!!!

If you take "purist" all the way to its logical conclusion, no one would ever be able to use the products sold on this platform or any other synth or AI tools of any kind. It would ALL be "fake." So where do you draw the line?

Unless you want to be as hypocritical as a Pharisee you just can't say, because then you would be the greatest and guiltiest sinner of all.

SO, I say do whatever you feel like doing.

God knows I do, and frequently have to throw myself on the mercy of the court for doing so.

Good song man.

SO, I say do whatever you feel like doing. Amen! Thanks for your input.
