Are there still session musicians today? Have they been replaced by tracks?
added by Dom Jan 13 '14 at 3:18
link
What would you call the musician who played on the tracks? – Kyle Jones Jan 13 '14 at 18:16
Session musicians don't make tracks (for recordings). Session musicians are use to do live recodings for specific songs while tracks are samples from songs and are usually electronic. – Dom Jan 13 '14 at 18:26

1. This seems like more of a question for the A.V.P. exchange and 2. This seems more like an opinion question. – Dom Jan 21 '14 at 17:11

This question is better suited for music.SE. In fact I think a similar question has been asked there. – Ulf Åkerstedt Mar 28 '14 at 23:14

closed as not constructive by Dom, Robert Cartaino Jul 1 '14 at 13:43

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

Why closed? Are you implying that there is no scientific way to assess headphones' quality? – Franck Dernoncourt Jul 10 '14 at 20:14
A better question would be 'What are the best headphones for listening to x type of music' rather than conscentrating on one brand. Other, probably better headphones are available but without the 'celebrity' price tag... – Pat Dobson Jul 21 '14 at 7:13
@Pat Yep sure, I didn't want to be too general, as some people say that "The examples here should be real questions - not just "questions of this form", as they will populate the site when it goes to private beta." and close questions for that reason as well... – Franck Dernoncourt Jul 21 '14 at 14:46
