Do you think Band already dying now?
| I don't personally think so. While effective, sound design doesn't give the characters of the instruments itself.
They give the sound, sure, but not the "personality" (does that make sense?) of the instruments. A drum can play differently during different parts of the song because the drummer chose so, et cetera.
But technically, throwing that out of the window, sound design is a pretty quick way to do stuff band does.
| >>63352 does this "personality" have something to do with the liveliness of the instrument? Or the interaction between player and instrument that represent us this "personality"?
| >>63354 I guess "personality" is a bad way to put it, but I have no other words and my vocab is lacking, so...
But yes, you get the point here. The dynamic of the instruments that can only happen in real instruments are mostly the thing that sound design can't replicate.
I have been playing the keyboard and the piano for a while now. When I'm playing the piano, there's more of this "personality" than when I'm playing the keyboard.
Bad example, but it's the closest I can get.
| Now the keyboard and piano example was bad, I know, but it was the only thing I had experienced personally.
Sound design can't replicate this, just like how video games often can't replicate the complexity of real life.
Sound design just feels "too conformed" for me. The music generated by it felt static and at times, lifeless.
I'm not saying that music made by sound design can't be good, that's not my point.
| Of course, this could just be a bias in me; I have played the piano for a while, and for me to see these people make music without touching an actual instruments might be.. how do I put it... "triggering" me?
But either way, there will always be a place for a full-on band. Sound design alone is not enough to replace band performances and whatnot.
| >>63361 i think i get your point, sound design alone still cant replicate the complexity of sound produced through playing real instrument. Some producer still need sampling tho... Thanks a lot for your opinion :D

| I dont know this for sure, but i think band is dying, we are living in an era where sound designing is more effective approach to create new music. What do you think?
