I suppose that there is no difference.

But another way to view that...consider that I write a song about a dog that died when I was a kid. My depiction of my feelings for the dog is completely subjective.
I may use words that dont rhyme worth a darn and there may be better ones that someone can point out. I see that as legit.

But often I see someone who couldnt write a thankyou note telling someone else who couldnt write a thank you note exactly what they need to do in their song. That becomes pointless.

Audio software techniques can also be subjectively used, but largely I consider them more objective than songwriting. It's all still subject to the blind leading the blind...but if you tell me that my reverb is excessive and you would eliminate it and use a slap delay instead for a better result....then I....can ask you which slap delay that you use and how you set it...whether on the track or bus it and so on.

If you tell me that describing my old Lab's coloration as "jaundiced" would be preferable to "yellow"...then the fog sets in.
