hello, i had this conversation with a friend of mine about the latest Ezmix, drum samples, etc… At one point, he asked, ” Why not just make everything prepackaged?”. Now this might sound silly but it just crossed my mind. Would it be possible to have a prepackaged production + mix template? Not exactly sure how to put this accurately. A package depending on the song format, style, number of instruments, tracks….so for the non-engineer folks like us, all we have to do is record the tracks depending on the template. Say for a rock song which consists of drums (which are already panned and mixed only requiring the midi notes), rhythm/distortion/solo/leadline guitars (with tracks already available panned/mixed with verse, chorus outro setting), vocals/background vocals, bass, etc…..Almost like filling in the blanks. I mean it seems like the music for the bedroom studio folks is heading this way, you know the “instant gratification” way or however you want put it..Sure, almost everybody will sound the same which is what is pretty much happening now……It would be nice to just plug in your instruments and track away…more time to concentrate on the song itself knowing that template limits you and that’s a good thing…I know I would buy one immediately…
PS – templates based on pro tools, cubase, etc….with Ezmix already inserted on every track?
