I have always said drummers perspective is the only one that makes sense. an audience perspective would be a mostly mono sound, minimum pan, and a perceived distance away from the kit.

I do still think it's survivorship bias tho. there's always great-sounding records coming out, though I do think that detail-vs-realism duality is a big part of the rise of lofi music. that's what made Burial and Nujabes stand out against a bunch of really pristine hip-hop and EDM. Despite the late 2000s being the most detailed era of popular music, the most influential music of that era was the less detailed music

Been thinking about this a lot and I'm pretty sure it's as simple as the performance and the room sound. Just look at how so many amazing songs blow up on TikTok but then sound flat once they finally put it on streaming

So you are saying, make music sound like it would I’m real life, rather than making it sound good for the radios or speaker?

this is a fascinating argument! i think the mixing that had to be done on the fly to cope with the technical limitations also eliminated a lot of the overthinking that mixing engineers tend to do.

Like many things in life, it’s all about finding the right balance (pun intended)

Steve Albini would have absolutely agreed with this take. His entire career in audio was that philosophy

This is a very cool subject that I’ve thought about and once again you’re the first person I’ve seen talk about. Hyperrealism arose alongside postmodernism. As society became so saturated with media to the point where representations of reality began to replace reality itself, hyperrealist artists began creating art based on the media rather than real life. They created a copy of the copy, as Baudrillard theorized in Simulacra and Simulation. Music producers began to do the same, but commentary on it is not as easy as it is for the visual arts where we can just point to photography lighting techniques accentuating features like you mentioned. We are now experiencing a few reactions to this in music. Some people will focus on capturing performance in a more raw and realistic way, some will push into exaggerated artistic areas, and there has been a rise in the liminal-space equivalent in music. I think that’s why there has been more nostalgia-based music that’s saturated with heavy reverb and echo, LoFi effects, and muffled frequencies. Hauntology, weird core, dream core, new types of shoegaze-like hybrid genres. What I’m most interested in is how metamodernism will manifest in music. If you’d ever be interested in chatting, send me a DM. While I know a lot of musicians, these topics aren’t really on the table for discussion yet.

Playing around with realism in varied shades is the main magic that makes Absolutely by Dijon such an incredible record imo

unbelievably based take. so much life is squeezed out of music for the sale of clarity/realism/detail whatever you wanna call it. the beauty of music to happens in the little imperfections of a live performance. that's why live will always be king even tho more often than not the audio is "lower quality" in that situation

You expressed this with such eloquence and clarity. It perfectly captures something I’ve struggled to explain to our clients and artists for a long time. 🙌🏼

Rumors, help me understand how an album can be so perfectly balanced, warm and pleasant.

There are so many elements that come together. I think part of it is the ability to play together in a sum-greater-than-the-parts way

Robin Ghosh :
I have a question. Is being realistic always better or most appropriate for any kind of art, including music creation? For example, when I’m creating a rock song, a realistic way to position the elements of the mix might be to follow a stage layout. However, personally I’m not a fan of how rock bands sound in a real space, like maybe the guitar is too far away, or the vocals not detailed enough. In a studio mix I would just try to create something that makes the song/the band sound good, not really mimicking reality.
