That doesn't make them any good tho. Good music should still prevail, whether it was done in a spare bedroom or multi-million dollar facility.

Yep, technology is just another instrument. It still takes talent and vision to produce real, quality music.

Absolutely! I was twice the guitar player when I worked a side job about 10 hours a week and made the rest of my income off of gigging. Now that I have a family and need more money to keep it all afloat, I have to work full time at a bar and I engineer part time just to make ends meet. There's very little time to actually excel as a artist like I once did. Grrr... I never thought I'd say those words.
