Where do we draw the line between human creation and computerized synthesis?  We’ve crossed the digital frontier long ago, but humans were still needed to control digital processes and algorithms at their fingertips.  However, automation and algorithms have gotten to the point where humans are almost unnecessary in the equation, and this is a little scary.  When you head to the supermarket there is bound to be a few automatic clerks, which replace the need for a human to swipe products and collect money.  Could it ever get to the point where the machine actually shops for you and you don’t even need to enter the store? The great debate about autosync features were one of the first milestones of the automation versus human argument using a DVS.  Now, it has slowly crept over to the DAW and production side.  Programs like Liquid Notes basically do what humans have worked hard to do in the past – create harmonies.  It used to require listening experience as well as knowledge of music theory.  Now it will require none of the traditional thinking skills that producers are used to.  Will this degrade the image of the producer into nothing but the automated clerk at the grocery store?  We will see. http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2013/01/03/intelligent-composing-assistant-liquid-notes-adds-instrument-library/

How has digital technology changed DJing?  Well, this is a loaded question if there ever was one – but it is safe to say that DJing isn’t the same as it used to be little more than 20 years ago.  If you think merely in terms of technique that existed two decades ago, the fundamentals of mixing live music were just starting to be explored, and songs weren’t manufactured the same way they are today – and they had more impact than they do today.  A common theme that has arisen anytime a new type of technology is invented is that we are simply getting lazier. Are we? In the time it takes to cue two records a beatmatch them, a modern DJ can have an entire playlist sorted by genre and tempo.  In the time it takes to cue the beginning of a song, a modern DJ can press the sync button and hop to his first hot cue.  So there might be some truth in that statement – but does this mean the creativity and originality have died as well?  This is where I digress from others’ opinions.  While some have genuinely gotten lazier with this new technology – the smart ones have embraced it and worked it to its fullest potential. http://www.digitaldjtips.com/2013/02/how-do-you-think-digital-has-changed-djing/
