Was the music more fun when.....?
Not everyone had access to so many production tools.. ?
Only the people who really really wanted to commit themselves to music would have to save for equipment and then get to know their machines inside out & make more of a commitment to get the best out of their machines? And sample CD's were non existant?
Im not bitching i think its great that anyone can now make a tune.. but that could be half the problem.
I correlate the er downfall or whatever you wanna call it of the popularity of techno with the rise of the cracked all in one software solution producer & or the plugin hoarder with the stagnation of the music.
Dont hit me. ;)
What i'll say is that the people who make the most interesting electronic music on computers (in my view) are the ones who are custom building their own software\live setups (ie Bidule/Reaktor/PD/MAX etc). ie you would find it very hard to replicate these people and they seem to stand out and escape from the rigidity of of ho hum sequencing. I'm probably not explaining myself very well but as people reply i'll make it clearer.
I know a hell of a lot of people will disagree but I may as well lay the bait. ;)

I reckon its really down to "some people have it, some people don't"
And some people can learn it while others just can't.
Has nothing to do with gear/software or who's cock (or tits) is bigger...
The "problem" is to do with the music industry not the music. Sh!t has to be released for various reasons by various people and as long as there is money being made, people will keep releasing sh!t.
