Music without sweat? Whats the point in that comment? Why do somthin the long way round just becuase you can? Would u turn off your power stearing to park your car, just becuase its harder? No you wouldnt. Do you see formular one drivers using 10 year old cars, just becuase it would be harder to win? No u dont. If hardware is the be all and end all of electronic music, why did stienberg invent vst? Vst technology, to me, is one of the single most imortant developments in electronic music! Why?
Beacuse it makes things quicker and easier(which cant be a bad thing) and it make making music available to anyone, not just people with grands to spend on hardware. Now anyone can sit down and make a tune with next to nothing spent, which means more new tallent, and ultimately more new and fresh sounds!
