yes and no. I'm interested in the rhetoric around this whole subject. The "pitchforks and torches" comment from Mr Burnett simply takes him out of the argument. What I'm seeing more and more from musicians is the blame game. Everything that's wrong with their careers and now audio is the fault of Silicon Valley operatives. Mr Burnett simply should record in analog - my preference when recording is to use a 2" 16 track machine and saturate the drums and bass to tape for extra grit. Then move from 16 track to 24 track analog to add overdubs. Then release the product on vinyl only. Digital problem solved.
Meanwhile musicians should take a long, hard look at what music fans are doing everyday...
