I feel like there's different types of music production.  For instance, I think recording a live Jazz band is different than working with a soundtracker clone.

I believe this distinction may be important because people have a broad set of ideas of what kind of music they'd like to do and it may be appropriate to divide the tools into different "camps".  The camps aren't mutually exclusive.

The three camps I'm tentative thinking of are

  1. microphone recorded
  2. synthetically orchestrated
  3. experimental

To further build this rational, many times when trying music software I think "clearly this is a well-thought out piece of software. I just must not know what I'm doing. Let me toil some more" only to conclude after many weeks that it wasn't designed to do what I'm looking for but instead does something adjacent to it.  Alternatively, one could argue this was a false impression I hastily concluded and in fact I dismissed a potentially great tool because I didn't give it enough time to learn.

Has anyone else thought about this?

​Yup, you're 100% correct. The different modes also have great overlap. For example, I record my sax playing on a linux box (using mic) overtop of MMA generated MIDI tracks generated inside a linux box using timidity. Of course, sometimes I have a real band and record that and process tracks in the same box. And, if I could figure out how to insert software synthesis into all this ... I probably would.

Best,​
