| I think a good song sounds good without production. All you need is a good singer, music and song, the rest is an optional extra. Some of my fav tunes are acoustic.
A crap song cannot be made into a great song with talented production. It will sound better but the music is the same, the same stupid chord changes and boring lifeless melodies.
A great singer sounds great even without a mic. I've heard people sit down with a $100 yamaha guitar and sm57 thru digi001 and it sounded amazing. What sounded amazing? The music and the musician. I still prefer the 70's sound to this date (I was not even around that time!).
Alot of todays engineers and producers like to feel that they are responsible for a great song but the credit belongs to the songwriters and musicians who created the song. Without them there is no music.
Like the good old chicken and the egg story, which came first.... The egg of course! |
