Re: [ARSCLIST] Quarter-inch splicing tabs...
Protools and other software only allows it to be more and faster -
lifeless productions predate even digital, as witness the previous
comments on 78s.

interpretation of the music....
Tools and equipment are wonderful, until used simply because they are
there. I own them myself, including Pro Tools, so their worth is
apparent to me, but also the flaws in the thinking that can entrap the
user. Hiding poor performances or in particular poor production
planning
during recording strikes me as simply being lazy or desperate to save
the unsaveable.
