Absolutely not. I’m basically saying some companies are providing new solutions (that appear futuristic sometimes) when others are eternally bringing the same thing over and over. The ways to obtain a 70’s sound are almost unlimited on the market, and you know it. 70’s sound has been covered and covered and covered again in the plugin domain. And this time they’re talking about not one, not two, but three records some of you might know as a reference !You are comparing two very different things. You are basically saying that modern digital tools make contemporary recordings sound better than recordings from the 1970s. I use the modern creative tools you mention, but they do not create the overall sound quality you could achieve with the available tools in the 1970s. In fact, they have very little to do with sound quality. Acustica, and many other companies, are trying to provide the sound quality of the 1970s in a modern digital form. The recordings from the 1970s created an immersive, emotional experience that seems difficult for modern digital tools to achieve.These days, every week I’m amazed to see the new tools that pop up and unleash our creativity : now we can equalize transients only, balance our sound automatically (sometimes AI-based), master our sound automatically, make a track spectrally depend from another one so they complete each other, unmix each track from a song with near-perfect results (my sound teachers told me in 2003 that this would be forever impossible), recreate a sound perfectly using resynthesis or granular synthesis, make a voice sound like another one with advanced vocoding, make a virtual singer sing with amazing results, and even generate songs automatically using prompts only. Those times are crazy !
And then you read that you can get that 70’s sound... again...
That’s what I’m talking about.
If you think my single opinion is a major killer move for Acustica Audio and that all the "community" has to prove me wrong, just do it, I’m smiling at it. Sorry, forum : we are free to talk about the post.
The previous "community" member finished his speech implying that all you need to get a 70’s sound is a plugin, no matter what your composition and arrangements rely on. Sure, insert this plugin on any modern s#it and boom : everybody instantly remembers Pink Floyd !
No need to make a 70’s-like composition of course. The plugin will save the day. People generally hear more a plugin touch than a composition.
Keep up the good work, I love you guys.
