So for us to complain about being replaced by electronic media, and for us to be surprised that the public is willing to accept it, ………….. sorry, but it’s the height of hypocrisy, especially on this forum.

After all, …………… we asked for it, and we're asking for more!



and yet, life moves in pendulum cycles. The ability to automate music makes music available to more people, but it also makes it less special. People naturally gravitate toward that which is special, so in a roundabout way it is just a matter of time before the pendulum swings the other way and people start making distinctions between those who actually have musical skill and those who simply use music software.

Already many in my son's generation (which has never known a time when there WASN'T music making software) puts more value on real human performance than on automated music. I hear them mocking one another if they learn that somebody's song was created in Garage Band instead of being humanly played into a recording program.

I predict that the current availability of music software will lead to increased interest in music, which will in turn lead to the development of some serious human talent, which will lead to a resurgence in live music.
