Disagree.

If standards always had to be met we would lack some of the most innovative music produced in the last two decades.

Production quality hasn't always played first fiddle to creative content.

It would be really sad if new music didn't break through anymore simply because production standards got so high that it wasn't worth amateurs even trying...

IMO some of the best stuff was early detroit - analogue instruments and fearless invention.

Over production is stifling and putting people off.

Put the fun back in music!
Not at all. Talent will always shine through, and new music will always break through.

But people just aren`t patient and won`t wait until they are good enough.

Hence zillions of pressings of badly produced poo ojn the market.

If you do a good tune, but can`t get it to a decent standard, then like Acidtrash did, go and get it engineered properly.
