Speaking in an interview with Graphic , Appietus stated that most of the new sound engineers in Ghana are in a hurry to produce songs without paying attention to the elements.
He said that they are in a haste to make more money, thus refusing to take their ample time to produce quality sounds.
“We used to have very great productions some years ago but what I am hearing lately is nothing to write home about. It looks like music producers are in a hurry to just make money and are not paying attention to all the elements that make a quality song”, he said.
“When I listen to songs such as Odo Nnwom which I did for Kofi Nti and Otoolege for Ofori Amponsah, I realize, I’m not hearing such quality productions these days. We are supposed to move forward and not backward, so I am telling every music producer to be up and doing,”
he added.
Appietus also asserted that the music industry has been blessed with good singers and rappers but the production of sound which these musicians work with is not good.
He went further to advise young and upcoming sound engineers to up their game and produce quality sounds.
“When it comes to singing or rapping we have some of the finest musicians but our sound engineers need to up their game,” he said.
