I think it does in the mind of the public. What if you get hired to mix one of these albums then take it upon yourself to give it that old skool unpolished sound? Would you OR the artist be popular in the market? I am sure that the mix engineers that do this music get quiet a bit of work because they can produce this music. I always look at an album based on the quality of the recording and the work that was put into it. I once saw where someone was blasting Britney for doing 40 vocals takes/tracks. Doesnt it take as many as it takes?
Go ahead to start your GS crap but I thought the miley cirus album AND the lastest BS album was great. IT had every thing that was needed to make it sell the number of units the label and the artist needed.
For some reason (probably abilities) I am stuck doing Rap and Indie. The indie I dont mind but after 25 years of doing rap I am now starting to regret the next MP3 showing up I have to master. Yes I said MP3! Would I jump at the chance to do a Miley album or Britney album....hell yea.
Now for the turn around.
Opinion on this forum are mostly coming from professionals in the music industry. We are very opinionated. Could I make a suggestion on a release? Could I think I could have done some things better? Well yea. I am an armchair quarterback as well. However, if a pro football player, that I ragged on, came to my house to play catch.....my big ass would be in the front yard
