PREACH

Maybe they just want it to sound like that? Maybe that's what they like?

I'm in a band (and some), and while we could record everything better (you know, used 5 mics for the drums instead of 2, told the guitarist we want a clear sound, produced it better and so on), we don't want to. We have a very clear vision for what we want, and even though a "better" (aka more polished) production would probably get us a few more fans, it's not what we're after. It's not in our interest. First and foremost we want to please ourselves with the music.

As far as programmed drums goes, it all depends on the music performed. And if you ask me (something you didn't he e he he he hrhaha heh) programmed drums really only suit a few types of music such as hip hop, different kind of industrial music, music where you don't rely on regular beats and so on. Programmed drums in regular rock, punk and metal are usually annoying as fuck no matter how good the actual samples used are.

This is Starwave Records I'mtalking about here. I doubt Kiwamu's half assed production is for artistic purpose, as he cares more about easy cash grabs and keeping his bands on a tight leash, than he is actually promoting the art of Visualkei. He's more concerned running a practical pyramid scheme than he is about furthering any art.
