Aint this the truth... I remember when CS 4tks first appeared - thought was, what will people record when they are no longer using their life savings to record studio demos (which at the time were always a knock off sound of whatever was popular - not what was good).
well... what happened was there were just more demos of more people doing the same thing, proving once again that more canvasas and more paint don't make more picasso's...
This is why artistry will survive even as the industry crumbles. the recording industry became an unsustainable beast. that beast gave me a decent career. not millions but a decent career. the death of the industry is just weeding out those who love what they do from the rest of the lot - in my opinion.
soon, no one will work in the industry unless they love the work, because there won't be much left to make it worth it. so for all the talk of "art vs commerce" you'll finally have it...
