Digital songwriting insight from Gina Fant Saez
By Don • Jun 13th, 2006 • Category: Songwriting Software
Gina is the author of the remarkable book, Pro Tools for Musicians and Songwriters. In this article on O’Reilly.com, she provides some great insights into using the computer as a songwriting tool:
“Contrary to the tedious debate that computers make music sterile and stiff, the computer is simply a tape recorder. It’s not going to perfect every beat and note unless you tell it to. All of the over-editing that gives music recorded on a computer a bad rap (no pun intended) is in the hands of the operator. If you prefer not to quantize (time correct) your drums or tune your vocals, it’s up to you.”
