Re: Northern Exposure Vol One
Back in the 90s this was the object of ENDLESS debating in Newgroups and BBSes. That's how the expression "Pro-tooled to death" was created
. It's annoying but it'll never go away.
A Google search will be more useful, but my opinion is that back then this (the use of musical software to obtain layering and a more than perfect flow) was regarded by people like S&D, May, Muir etc. as state-of-the art if not pushing the envelope.
For years it was opinion that such effects were impossible to replicate by a human. But legend has it that Charlie May once proved them (S&D) that it could be done.
I think the sets were entirely programmed and played live by the two men but the cds themselves were probably studio re-creations, much like the GU records.
