That person wasn't you know was it

You don't know jack shit, nor does groink, and if YngiweRhoads wants talk about this and cite some actual examples, I'm all ears. And being a professional musician don't mean shit, I know more than a few, and grew up around musicians and for the record my brother is a sound engineer eat shit numb nuts.

I'm not going to spoon feed you. I'll assume you know how to use this ---> https://www.google.ca/

I'll also assume you're merely trolling and aren't really this dense.

What am I searching for exactly, was the billion dollars worth of music created over the last 20 years, not suffering from a noise war, it's a known thing if you got a point be specific.

I will give mikmaq a bit of credit, as digital production techniques made getting sounds that were previously reserved for elaborate studios more accessible to everyone.

But to say THAT'S THE REASON alternative and grunge hit big, is just ridiculous. he is completely discounting the art and inspiration that goes into making music, songwriting skills and the culture in general. Big movements like the Seattle scene are a perfect storm of a lot of different factors. not a studio advancement. i can't believe he actually believes that.

Lets be clear, here I never from the start said grunge, I said alternative, and mentioned metallica, and Red hot chille peppers from the start, I even mentioned Gun N roses as being part of it as well. It's not the only factor and even I said that, but it seems to be the main reason that alternative music took over, and even the reason that genre exists. CD's came out they changed the way people listened to albums, if you look at the top 20 rock albums of the 90's pretty much all of them were atleast in part products of their technology.

Blood sugar Sex magic(91), made the chilles, and it was a product of there time in the studio with rick rubin he got them to stop the slap pop and move on to more melodic album based music(shit anthony can't sing)

Metallica had the black album(91) again another u turn where the band slowed the tempo's, built an album from the ground up in studio, and changed there singing habbits.

Nirvana made nevermind(91), basically a sell out by indie terms, using loads of dubs, and etc, to give it a smooth but rough sound. So much so when they made the next album, kurt got in a major legal battle as he wanted to make an album that was cut down not so poppy , eventually the label forced a remix of the album but it shows a theme.

Far as I know these were the biggest trend setters of the 90's, and production was at the heart of everything they did as it was the true introduction of cd's.

Metallica is metal dude. RHCP were a funk-based band out of LA. GnR were straight ahead blues based, arena riff rock. your definition of "alternative" is dubious at best.

when people think of "alternative" and the early 90's , they think of Seattle first, and then bands like STP, Smashing Pumpkins, Screaming Trees, Janes addiction, Weezer, Radiohead..bands like that...not Fkng Guns and roses, or Metallica .

Only on Getbig could this thread turn into an argument.

I hadn't read this thread thoroughly enough, but I'm going to assume that MM is talking about the loss of dynamic range on recorded material and how it changed the way we hear music.

I'd agree that essentially it began in the late 80's to early 90's.

Dr. Feelgood, The Black Album, Empire, 3 Sides to Every Story, The Spaghetti Incident etc, had essentially begun the loud, compressed, 're-mastered' phase of music.

Now, the sound of the bands themselves is an entirely different thing altogether, and what I'd written previously still stands.
