I can understand to a certain degree how pieces should be made to their fullest potential if possible, theres nothing better , and thankfully im getting my own head down learning as much as poss to do the same. I think i am one for picking a tune with with great musical content than a piece which loops but has nice compression on the hats. Maybe thats the classical influenced side of me, just hearing those raw instruments and dynamics, (but then again synths dont always sound so phat unless produced / engineered well. Maybe comparing a soft synth to classical could be a little extreme hehe)
One thing ive learnt....
HOW HARD PRODUCTION IS.
Thats why its so amazing, and if you get producers who can engineer as well as making a well produced tune musically i.e Geoff WHite and all the others i mentioned then Hallelujah.
