Yes, you can make almost anything in a DAW these days, but that doesn't necessarily mean you will. In today's video we take a look at how the limitations of music hardware shaped my latest project, and how the results would have been vastly different had I done it in a computer.

Back in the 90s I did everything straight to two track – practice, structure, a hardware sequencer and a couple of synths – I used to draw arrangements on graph paper... and then record it, maybe do a couple of takes, and move on. And then when I started with DAW work I would get very bogged down in detail and repeatability. More recently I've found it very liberating to go back to a 4-track and start with a single synth, take it steady but work quickly – by which I mean, make decisions and stick to them, but don't rush in favour of a poor choice. Put the right stuff down and you don't need to fix it later. So yeah, I absolutely get where you're coming from here.

There was a moment when I realized that booting up the computer, starting the software, fiddling around with the mouse and pushing around blocks on the screen annoyed me to the point I almost lost interest im making music. I didn't touch a computer again from then on. I do not aim for perfect productions, I make music for the thrill of it. Synths, samplers and groove boxes are sufficient for me and brought the life back to it.

In my research on entering the DAW era. I get this. I love my old fashion bang on the buttons drum machine. No one who isn't an accomplished musician is gonna like you after viewing this.

That was poetic, and speaks to a lot of truth. De-GAS 🤘

Ultimately, it’s all about the music. Do whatever you need to do to make it happen, but at the end of the day, when I listen to a record, I really don’t care how it was made.

I went DAWless on my last album to focus more on my skills as a performer. I recorded each song live to a 2track, which allowed me to say "done" a lot sooner than I would on my DAW. 😂

You articulate yourself really well, your content is engaging & consistent. Having too many options & getting new gear too often, always results in writers block and indecisiveness. Less is more, having a few things you know really well is better than a 100 things you don't.

I just started studying music as a hobby (retired) and aiming at creating musical landscapes with synthetic music.
It's not an easy task to get a real good understanding of the 'fabric' of music, but it's obvious that one gets nowhere without it.
And yes, I discovered the piano as the most comprehensive tool to learn music the right way.

I listened to tons of synthesizer music, also to the typical, let's call it "DAW music", you find on the huge festivals.
They mostly lack any depth in musical sense, although I do agree that the purpose of these festivals is the atmosphere of emotions, rhythms, and massivness.

What you're saying makes a lot of sense to me, so I subscribed.

I'm a massive fan of creating within constraints. All my best ideas were written with the aid of a very old tablature program called powertabs. ...if you DO indulge in a daw, indulge with purpose, otherwise keeping it simple within a Daw is also possible. ...And if you DO go dawless, do it for the right reasons, not just to be the coolest succulent hipster in the room, but for live rig performance reasons and/or to actually challenge and create ...Jameson you certainly created something special in this EP. I just listened to it 3 times in a row. Excellent work.

Again and again I love the questions you pose about the creative process itself. Very inspirational! I am discovering for myself that interesting ambient music is so much more about less is more and certainly not trying to fill up all the space! For sure, all the endless possibilities of nowadays can get overwhelming. In the end of the day, as you say, we have to explore what we love most and come up with our own unique music. Keep up the great work!

Limits breed creativity. Using multiple instances of 1-2 VSTs is one of the best ways to create cohesion between your tracks.

The moment you pick a tool to create music, you've constrained yourself to the idioms of that tool and your knowledge and skill of that tool. This is a Good Thing. I approach composition very differently depending on when I'm using guitar, bass, keyboard, my Push, or scratching out things in the piano roll. One of my favorite things is to come up with something on one of these things, and then figure it out on another which usually gives me new perspectives.

I'm still waiting for the day when most songwriters and producers realise analog hardware equipment will always be the king, and you only need a daw (computer) to edit the tracks efficiently. Then put them back into your portable recorder/adat recorder/tape machine and you're ready for mixing with your outboard gear. Better quality, more creativity, more focus. But most importantly, less screentime and more fun!

When I was in my early twenties I took my wife to the Huntington library in California. On display were letters written by George Washington. They were beautifully written. Each were well thought out, purposely written. No erasing no adding additional thought. Pure heart felt expression. listen to the Carter family country music recordings. What was captured was pure emotion, pure imperfection. Pure human feeling.
What is lost in music today. Every thing is now placed perfectly in place. Devoid of human emotion. Technology can be great. But put 99% of all artist today in front of a wax record recording they could not express themselves. True artistic expression is fading. I long to hear an artist express themselves in a way that will be endearing forever. No overdub no multiple takes just real human emotion.
