Modern Music Production Techniques aren’t hurting music, modern consumption is demanding to much and not allowing artists to write properly, as much was meant to be written. This is most obvious and easy to talk about in many modern metal and rock productions where drummers aren’t given the time to really write their parts along the way and are instead brought in at the end of a production just to record. Drum parts are losing their authenticity because (in those situations) guitar players are writing the parts to go along with their guitar parts instead of drummers being allowed the time to write their parts.

Many music critics blame this on modern recording and production techniques like editing and autotune, however this is not the problem of programming parts or editing, at the end of the day this is to do with the disruption of the entire flow of songwriting, and that is partially brought on by the demand consumers put on musicians to keep churning out music.
