Where to begin...
Dirty Loops is good, sure.....but are they THAT good? lol, no.....no they are not. What you're hearing is dozens or hundreds of hours of Pro Tools tomfoolery by some very talented producers.
Every single note played by each musician snaps perfectly to the grid. Every. Single. One.
Every single note played by each musician also sits perfectly in the pocket. Every. Single. One.
They're all talented musicians, don't get me wrong. But on top of that you have talented sound engineers and Pro Tools jockeys who carefully edit each and every note to make it sound "perfect."
Exhibit A:
This song is so "perfect" that it borders on the absurd. It sounds sterile, all the instruments sound like they were played by a robot groove band.
In the grand scheme of things, is this a bad thing at all? I dunno...maybe not. But what annoys me is the praise that this band gets, (over and above what they deserve.) The masses think they're the greatest band that ever lived.
This is closer to what Dirty Loops ACTUALLY sounds like when they can't edit it all in post. They still sound good, but nowhere near perfect...
The comments on that video are hilarious. They hear something less-than-perfect and flip out on the sound guy.
Anika Nilles' videos are the same deal. Talented sound producers spend days or weeks editing her videos to sound perfect. She's a great drummer, and doesn't need to rely on this sort of "photoshopping".
