I had a second gen walkman (cassette) in the 80s, but honestly didn't know they ever went beyond the CD models.
Just assumed you might have collected iPods because they were stylish like skateboards, chuck taylors, and the other stuff you collect. Karl Lagerfeld knew. And damn did he know how to make lingerie.
My first MP3 player was like 128 (or 256?)mb. I think I could get 5-6 albums of songs on it. Then some dude at the part time work gig (Circuit City) showed me how much his iPod held, tens and tens of albums! Others soon had gigs of storage so I still stuck with MP3 format.Quote:

2000s had the shift from big bulky portable CD players to weird mp3 players to ipods + mp3 players to just ipods. My first mp3 player had 64mb, maybe from an SD card. And then there were minidiscs that seemed like a weird thing my Japanese friends had. I still wanted one though. The first ipod I saw the was from a friend who told us in class that he dropped it off the stationary bike and it didn't even skip.
Also the iphone, that felt like a big change. I think the first one I saw was a friend from wrestling and a bunch of us gathered around to play with the touch screen and see what it could do.
A lot of people I worked with had Blackberries. I went from the Motorola flip phone to Android, and still with Android. Our designated house phone is an iPhone 6s though.. Kids have 11s. We used the house phone to keep tabs on them with find a friend. No longer have to ask them where they are going all the time.
Also, when they were in high school and fucking up we could take their good iPhone and give them the dreaded 6S to take to school when grounded.. Oh the humanity!!! That was more late 10s than 00s though..
Something else he knew.Quote:

I resisted having a cell phone in the late 90s and only used them when they were provided by my employer. For most of the 00s I had a series of these:

Milli Vanilli would like a wordQuote:

But what I was getting at was the proliferation of autotune.
1. Find good looking woman
2. ? computer magic ?
3. Profit!
There was plenty of autotune post production shenanigans and lip synching well before the 00s.. Madonna?
WWF even did an angle about it where Jeff Jarrett claimed to be a country star only to have it revealed that his roadie actually did the vocals on his hit song... Autotune wasn't as well developed but there was all kinds of fraud and effects fixing things so people who couldn't sing seemed to be singing..
Heck look at all the TV show bands who didn't play their own instruments. Partridge family The Monkeys, etc.
Lip synching is different. Don’t thing the partridge family used auto tune.

Back in the day we'd grab samples of the studio tapes and loop them a little faster or slower to tweak the pitch during an overdub. Good times!Quote:

Check out the end, “can we fix that?” (Guy nods) lol.

Huge step up for beer and coffee quality.

Pitch correction has been around as an editing tool for a whileQuote:

Auto tune essentially created a generation of musicians who can’t sing, they just vomit out the lyrics in first take and let the technology make it sound good.

These would typically be 16 tracks on 1 inch analog tape, or 24 tracks on 2". At 15 inches per second, that's a lot of very expensive tape. And then mix down to stereo would require buying another 1/4" reel. Basically, you couldn't afford to have a shitty drummer, and if your singer sang out of tune, well, then that was just their style.
Other than noise gates and compressors, there weren't any effects, because all the studio's money was spent on (quality/quantity/specialty) microphones.
The big trend was to move everything to digital, and Pro Tools offered a ton of time/money saving fixes - not the least of which was eliminating tape machines. Dropped snare hit? No problem, we'll paste a sample of one in. Bad tempo? We'll change it! So lots of this stuff is good, and opened up some creative possibilities, but also paved the way for the Ashlee Simpsons.
Whelp, this is my recommended Spotify playlist right now:Quote:

That stuff is not to be fucked with. It’s like being tequila drunk on speed.
Haha. Malt liquor energy drink, what could go wrong.Quote:
