LOL. It seems impossible to get past the AI influence on any question at the moment.

Today, at my house, we sat around and played some live Christmas music on acoustic piano and guitar with the neighbors. There was no DAW, no AI, and no electronics at all.

Whatever the future of the DAWs or other things, we can choose to involve ourselves in those issues or not.

I can tell you that my use of advanced technology and ancient methods of doing things are not mutually exclusive.

Once, I lived in a tree on a small island for a couple of months. I got there in a jet airplane. It is possible to use and enjoy both.

I hear all the expressed fear about AI. The truth is the airplane could have crashed, or I could have fallen out of the tree and killed myself...lol

Life is not dangerous; it is terminal, and no one lives through and gets out alive...lol

Happy Holidays,

Billy
