All hail the mighty Beato!!! I love Rick! I have an idea for why quantized music sounds 'artificial'. I believe it's rooted in how our auditory system processes soundwaves. We are no doubt hardwired to perceive differences in sound, both pitch, amplitude and meter. That would have survival advantages for both predators stalking prey, as well as becoming aware of potential threats. That's why music that isn't heavily quantized sound organic, since the musicians are always speeding up and slowing down, not to mention that's why playing 'off the beat' sounds so dynamic and exciting. Rick showed that even bands as tight as The Police when in the studio where also speeding up and slowing down, since it's impossible to keep perfect time, at least for humans. When you listen to heavily quantized music it sounds artificial, it doesn't sound organic, since our audio system evolved out of nature, not the sterile, quantized world of computer generated sound.Check this out: https://www.sffchronicles.com/threads/584344/#post-2614061
