It's quite common that people don't take the opportunity to see or listen to how others work. It's not genre specific either. Some people just seem extremely set in their ways, which is quite surprising with how much natural crossover there is between genres. You see engineers make similar mistakes. It's one of the reasons I always try to set aside time for Agartha Podcast and similar things. Never stop learning, as the saying goes.Zipede wrote: Fri Jul 17, 2026 1:05 pmI think this is also a factor. I played a lot of guitar and had a few keyboards in my youth, but it was never serious or dedicated, I just assumed I knew what I was talking about.Kai Enaki wrote: Thu Jul 16, 2026 9:24 pm I grew up in studios and tour buses and learned early on to appreciate all genres. You get a different appreciation for things when you see the process and skills behind it up close. That said, if I were to open my media player right now I'd most likely go for drum and bass or metal. It's very much a mood thing. Tomorrow it could be something else.
I became friends with a musician about 30 years ago who has his own real studio, seeing him work opened my eyes. Then after building my own mini studio and actually doing some dedicated practice, I realized how difficult it is to make any kind of music sound professional. And then strangely any kind of music starts to sound good.
What's your music taste?

I mostly like good music, but not always.

Good music is just soooo good.
And it's objective.
And it's objective.

I wouldn't say objective but I like how you think.
