The Incredible Shrinking Recording Studio
what_the_frell writes "Wired has an interesting article on the increased use of laptops as a replacement for a recording studio. The article touches on how music schools are requiring the purchase of a Powerbook and software for this very reason, and also highlights artists like Steve Vai who are moving over to the more portable platform. Does this mean I can finally record that rock opera I've always dreamed about?"
Ever try and read Usenet after the AOLer and WebTVers came on board ? What choice did I have to filter their crap out, one or two good posters drowned in a sea of crap.
I'm a lazy bloke, with a busy life, I don't want millions of choices, I want a system that filters out the crap and leaves the quality. In the same way as any company filters people to get the best people so it should be in the music business.
Play in your room, play in your garage... but please don't make me wade through 20,000 pieces of crap to get to the latest track by someone decent.
More choice != more quality.
