Im not sure what can be done for the future of pop/rock music.

All I do is listen to older music.
There is a ton of very well recorded music from the 50's, 60's 70's and 80's.
Even some early, to mid 90's stuff.

Here's another "rant" in case youre unaware-

There is another common trait that usually exists side by side with autotune, which could be argued as being even worse.
It is called "dynamic range compression".

You may have heard of the "loudness wars"-

What good is a nice set of Pi speakers in a sound system, or any other set of hifi speakers in your home, if you cannot turn it up?

I sometimes enjoy turning up the volume to fairly loud/full levels,
or even louder when having a party, which can give the impression there is a band in the room.

Dont try that with most pop/rock thats been recorded within the last 20 yrs.

Listen to the difference in this 15 year old Nirvana song-

I hear a big difference on my laptop.
listen to that on some "bigs"and youd really hear a difference.
I'd bet the compressed version would be more or less unlistenable at a nice full volume.

Just another reason to keep enjoying the oldies Cool
