It's also interesting to note that, with the plethora of devices,
plugins and general techniques available today, mmusic production seems
to be sonically convergent. IOW, back when people had less freedom in
terms of choice, they fought harder to create a production sound
specific to them, while today, that self-same freedom seems to be used
to mimic one another as much as possible. (This is speaking broadly, of
course.)
