i completely agree on the 16 track comment. i'll add it to my previously mentioned thoughts about vsts which have already drastically affected the way i work... with software.
i disagree about music being better off had software not existed. it is too absolute. a mix of hardware along with a computer and certain software is what i personally prefer. why not have lush sound and convenience all in one.
but its also the general design of the software. do people REALLY need more than 16 tracks to make a dance song? 16 tracks would get LAUGHED at by today's standards. people want infinite tracks so they can make infinite small changes to their infinite bit depth sample of someone in a little room banging on a drum set. music would be better had this nonsense just never existed. tom
