GarageBand is weird. The fact that it’s so easy to appropriate any cultures’ sound or native instrument is really unsettling. Similarly, the way it’s so easy to change and shift the voice into something that sounds nothing like someone’s own voice is unfair. Someone who has no talent in singing should not be able to alter their voice to the extent where it sounds so different while folks who are naturally talented do not use the same technology to make their voices sound better. It is confusing listening to a song where the genres mix up in general but knowing that hypothetically I can just take a bongo and mix it with a traditional Chinese instrument is unsettling to me. My qualms exist when considering the people who played an instrument or recorded their voice to be used on the software. They do not get the credit of being the talent, and furthermore, anyone with GarageBand is able to take and manipulate their talent to make it work for them. An argument may be that the artists who shared their talent knew what they were signing up for, but I think the fact that so many different genres are coming together and becoming manipulated from their original form which may not have been what the artists thought would happen.
