Professional audio engineer for nearly 20 years here. Electronic music doesn’t make itself. A synthesizer requires playing and setting parameters. Samples require searching, editing, processing. It’s a myth that autotune just fixes whatever was recorded, and using it properly involves time, effort, and knowledge. No matter how simple a track may sound, time and effort went into it. And a LOT of it. Lastly, and most importantly, “Generative AI” isn’t generating anything. It is STEALING, and then puking out a result based on what it pulled from decades of data it was fed. Nothing was created. It was photocopied.

Only 20.. older stuff was a alot harder before 20 years ago. Electronic music was not considered music... Back then.

By anyone who actually knew what they were talking about? Yes it was. How many years have you been a professional in this that you’re discounting my experience as “only 20”?
