Not rubbish at all if the subject is artistic satisfaction. Do you get more satisfaction from just banging out a piece of music using other peoples ideas simply for the sake of it or from creating a piece of music from your heart, from your soul?Touch The Universe wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 3:24 am All rubbish, use drum loops, other peoples midi files other peoples presets, other peoples vocals and lyrics and still have a fulfilling life in music production that can touch and reach people, which is the most important thing.
If one prefers the former over the latter then that explains why music is so formulated and generic these days.
Certainly experimentation is the heart of all creativity but there is a difference between intelligent experimentation (what does turning this knob do to the resulting sound since the subject at hand is synthesisers) and in just pushing a button and hoping something good results. You learn from the former and not the latter. Learning is the mother of all growth.
You could just ask Artificial Intelligence to make a piece of music for you but again what artistic satisfaction would that bring you? It would bring me none.
