Punching in, editing or anything short of a one take performance applies I guess, but...

As these tools became available the "door" that prevented un-talented people from entering the music world was opened wider and wider.

I don't believe that many people posses great musical ideas that need to be heard by the masses when they don't have technical skills.
So, if the said devices allow these less talented people into the musical world can we really complain that the current music offered sucks?

It is all about performance and if the performance has to be fabricated...

Of course, your personal abilities will influence your perspective on this.

Or.... if you can't sing in tune, but with AutoTune or Melodyne you can sing in tune JUST LIKE Celine Dione then you are gonna' LOVE these devices.

.... just a thought.
????? is that a question....what shall we comment on ?
