Man, I just got done watching the video Ed had placed on the Tips and Tricks topic of acoustic bass guitar VSIs. And although I absolutely love that we are coming more and more closer to emulating a real band right from our computer. But, at the same time, I cannot help but question, what will the music performance field look like a few years? What ramifications will these awesome ideas have when the time comes when they are mainstream?

Will the concert that we go to then consist of paying tickets to watch someone step onto a stage click the mouse on the PC and walk away? Will there be music critics out there that will observe the technique of the walk the guy did as he approached the computer? Perhaps a paragraph on the way he moved the mouse to click "play." And what will the then old timers be speaking about when talking about the legends of music in that day? Perhaps they will say something like, "I have clicked the mouse a million times and cannot get it to do what that "legend" did."

Funny, but...
