This whole discussion about AT, Melodyne, backing tracks and other electronic gizmos reminds me of the “Wizard Of Oz”.

When Dorothy and her stalwart friends finally make it into the inner chamber to see the Great and Powerful OZ, they are in shock and awe at the thunder, lightning, flames and the booming voice that encompassed them.

Then the curtain is accidentally pulled back and they realize it’s all just some old fart pushing buttons and pulling levers.
