I'm an amateur musician and I've been gigging, playing, and jamming with musicians for decades. There's nothing wrong with today's song writing and compositions. The problem is the tools used to record, and mix (and to a much lesser extent, master). They "encourage" a particular workflow - a workflow that's anathema to music.

Analog is crap - that analog "warmth" is snake oil - but the old analog workflow of recording and mixing yields music that resonates with people. The best of all worlds would be to capture that analog workflow using digital tools.
