Something that surprised me was learning that most of those '90s hits were played without a click or sequencing. Some used loops but that was as automatic as it got.

Some used loops but that was as automatic as it got. yeah they often just pasted the sample right to take after the initial drum hit with gates and samplers as the drums were tracked or used the alesis d4 modules. Lesser bands would be replaced hit by hit manually to the tape with time code Now they even chop up di signals and reamp them. This happened in metal first because so few people could play it. There are bands today who have issues live because with the decline of the industry they cannot afford to pay the old musicians for comebacks not a festival show and they cannot find musicians with availability to tour who can play the songs or with the band. |

Disco was just played on a keyboard. I can't tell if this is a joke (and if it is I'm missing the context). Can you elaborate/explain? |

The Miami Disco like KC. It wasn't sequenced, quantized or played to a click.

Those 90s Butch Vig records with Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins are also infamous for him radically chopping up the tape to realign the drums. |
