I make electronic music, but don't listen to other electronic music cos the majority of it is unimaginative.
I listen to a lot of genres of music, but listen to a lot of rock, and particularly love the production values of the 70s, because whatever happened in the 70s there was a real earthiness and warmth.
The 60s were kinda "shrill", the 70s had this ...i dunno...this "mojo" goin' on, and then the 80s happened with its thin FM sound everywhere.
Don't get me wrong. I was a teen in the 80s and loved it, and I have fond nostalgia for the music, but the production was brittle, with a range that seemed dominated by the highs and upper mids.
The production in the 70s just seemed so solid, and I'd love to find out why ?
Very few electronic artists have their own sound, and just seem to copy each other. Boards of Canada would be a very notable exception.
The main reason I bought Mixbus is to try to get that "mojo" that was so prevalent in 70s music from artists like The steve miller band, Prince, Fleetwood Mac , Manfred Mann, Bowie, etc.... and apply those production values to electronic music and make something with genuine character, warmth, solidity, earthiness, and....I keep coming back to it.....mojo.
Thoughts, advice, tips.....all welcome.
