Looks incredible.

AppleTV is the new HBO.

Apple has had sound products for the last 20 years. Services too.

And so do many of Apple's competitors.

I certainly can see javante's point. If this documentary doesn't mention Apple's competitors over the years who made better products than Apple and had a bigger share of the music/sound market than Apple, then I will stamp this documentary as a big Apple commercial.

There's a saying that "'Winners" write the history of the world." I am hoping it's not the case here, so we will have to see.

The documentary is not about Apple's or Apple's competitor's prodcucts.

Think I will skip this. A lot of the people shown I am not familiar with. I miss the old days when the band actually went to the recording studio and made music. Most of it today is all digital.

I am surprised Steve Winwood wasn't part of the series.

Wow, you sound like my dad.

Trust me, bands still go to a recording studio and make music.
Digital (recording and instrumentation) has been happening since the 80s.

From Wikipedia:
"The first all-digitally-recorded popular music album, Ry Cooder's Bop 'Til You Drop, was released in 1979, and from that point, digital sound recording and reproduction quickly became the new standard at every level, from the professional recording studio to the home hi-fi."

Well, duh?! Why are you being so defensive about this?

Let me remind you that this is a documentary about "sound creation and the revolutionary technology that has shaped music as we know it." Remember? Remember that quote now...

Do you not realize that computers have a major role in this? Unless they did a shoddy job, they WILL discuss how computers played a role in the "sound creation and the revolutionary technology that has shaped music as we know it."

What I and others are worried about is if the author only discusses how Apple computers played a role in the "sound creation and the revolutionary technology that has shaped music as we know it."

Got it?

Defensive? I was stating a fact. Why are you weaseling my response into something else?

And what's with "Duh"? I remember that being a grade-school retort/put-down.


"What I and others are worried about is if "

And why not wait until you see what happens? I know, it's easier to make stuff up, getting worked up, thinking there's going to be some kind of sky is falling nefarious outcome.

Relax.

Fear not. While most major recording studios have gone digital (sorry), they are alive and well. The Bearsville's of the world will always exist. What's changing are the barriers between who can/can't record. They're evaporating. Access has never been healthier. Sure, that will see a slew of junk. But in the end, more people are able to express themselves through music than at any point. That, alone, is a good thing. I think, from a creation standpoint, these are pretty fascinating times. Don't hate, celebrate!

My post had no hate in it.

Oh crap! Sorry @Apple_Robert, that line was A) not at all directed toward you (or anyone really) and B) more about the rhyming than anything. Obviously I didn’t think about how you might see it as directed toward you, since I did quote you. Again, my bad. Cheers!

Relax.

Actually, you were doing the same thing - speculating, not stating a fact. And so were others. That's what makes this a discussion.
