> Rick Rubin told Anderson Cooper he has no technical ability. Doesn't play instruments. Can't work a mixing board.

If you watch his interview on Rick Beato's channel, this myth will fall apart. He plays guitar, had his own punk rock band and his guitar playing is featured on some high-profile records he produced. Also, he has a lot of practical experience with all kinds of studio equipment.

That’s exactly it. His taste isn’t in any one thing. It’s the esoteric and accumulated from a variety of things. You can’t package it up. That’s the point on the project specs. I can never get it right in one, but the arc over 100 becomes visible. Especially to an LLM that has the capacity to intake and understand that.

Well, you can package it up, otherwise Rick wouldn't exist.
