Hate would be a strong word, but I despise the fact that everything is ***** and that I am also itching yet strictly forbidding myself to make another godforsaken interpretation of it. Or that I will never consider any of my work to be finished, just too fatigued or inexperienced to develop further.
Personally I don't think autotune is such a bad thing, if used right it can make the vocal sound better, and usually I use a light autotune even if I am singing pretty well tuned (though I sing not often). The big argument against it seems to be that it makes the singer sound better than what they can sing, but technical proficiency does not equal the quality of sound we hear, and though it is niceto have a singer who can sing, that is not always a luxury everyone has.
About making someone sound more technically advanced than they are, quantized drums and copy + paste does seem to get nearly asmuch hate as autotune.
Loops. Songs written with a four bar loop with only 1 or 2 parts. It's lazy. No hooks, no arrangements, too much automation, not enough inspiration.
Lyrics that never rise above the literal, a complete lack of metaphor. This is rampant in country music these days. I normally don't name names in these sort of things but Shawn Mendez is the worst. Eight-year olds could write better lyrics.
Compression and ducking. Yea, that got old years ago. Very very VERY few do it well.
I remixed the remix. Now it's back to normal. ~Mitch Hedberg
