Re: Would such a piece of synthetic pop be good?
In the older times, before electricity singers and players needed a conductor to stay at tempo, because the speed of sound is much lower than the speed of light, and classical music performer are trained to follow visual cues rather their ear. The other solution was to have musician staying close each other.
With amplified music things changed and the solution for the low speed of sound was initially to use monitor speakers, but this solution causes both feedback problems and hear damage to the musicians due the high volume of the monitors on stage. Ear plugs are helping on protecting the ears and to listen to other musicians and even having a click track.
