Tired of every single piece of media looking and sounding the same? Netflix lighting. Overprocessed basslines and drum beats on your favorite songs. That kind of stuff. Have you noticed that movies you rightfully thought looked crappy 15 years ago suddenly look amazing when compared to the slop that\u2019s coming out today? It\u2019s no coincidence. The problem we\u2019re running into is that everybody is using the same new stuff, with the same presets, and getting the same results.<\/p>\n

Now don\u2019t get me wrong. I love my new tech. I recently bought a new computer that allows me to work more efficiently. I have a smartphone like everybody else, and having a camera in my pocket whenever my kids do something funny is awesome. New technology is great because it offers convenience and lets you streamline daily tasks in ways that were previously unthinkable.<\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s one issue, and this is a big one: all of our photos look the same. Every new TV show looks the same. All of our music sounds the same. We\u2019re gaining convenience but losing personality in the process, which is why I genuinely believe that leaning into older technology will eventually lead us to the creative renaissance we\u2019ve all been waiting for.<\/p>\n

As a musician who mostly uses equipment that\u2019s at least 20 years old, I\u2019m technically using vintage gear. The case I\u2019m making here isn\u2019t meant to argue that vintage gear is better than modern gear. Most stages have gone silent, with everybody running amp modelers straight through front-of-house PA systems. It\u2019s great. You can roll into a small venue without lugging in a ton of heavy equipment, dial in your tone, and let it rip. The mix is operated by iPads, and it\u2019s super easy to lock into a room. What I\u2019ve noticed, though, is that everybody is using the same kind of technology now,…<\/p>\n
