hmmm possibly, but we're moving toward a situation where more tech is used in every area of life and music (production, performance) isn't an exception.
not every area of life requires creativity to be the focus! look at what the prevalence of photoshop has done, it hasnt made graphic design better, in fact, it has made it worse IMO. people who have no idea what looks good can now make something with "professional" appearance aside from the fact that it is laid out poorly and is not coherent. the things that make something effective are not dictated by technology, in fact they almost dont change at all.
part of this is because the price of tech is tumbling but part of it is some of the creative possibilities made available by this technology are very attractive.
but my problem is even with the "creative possibilities" that are made available. sound design is all well and good, i appreciate what it can do for music and texture, but when that is the only area that creativity is applied to, your tracks are going to be sorely lacking. and i believe that is apparent in the stuff we're seeing now.... tom
