well dont forget pro musicians did exist before the advent of recorded media. I hope whats happening brings back more live music. I think your also losing site that 95% of the people that make art do it out of pure love for making art. Being compensated $$ should be an added bonus. Its really beyond me why any smaller band would opt for studio time when investing that money into a home recording solution would make much more sense IMO. Now if someone would actually code some good linux audio software..... and make it so the average joe musician doesnt have to be a network admin to get everything up and running....
You obviously have no idea what your talking about as to call VST "the latest proprietary gimmick" and that it only has to do with audio effects. VST is effects plugins plus virtual instruments that synch perfectly with cubase or logic. Check out native instruments Pro Five. VST is a great idea.
you live in the past. Music is about sound and nothing more. How the sound is produced means nothing. If you listen to mp3.com electronic music i can understand how you would get the feeling that all computer based music is crap. However i dare you to check out anything by the Orb and ANYTHING by Simon Posford, especially Shpongle - Are you Shpongled? Computers are to music now what the electric guitar was to music in the 60's. sox
I never seem to see these 2 seperated. IMO your saying that artificial consciousness is impossible, and yes it very well may be. However, I dont see why a machine would need to be self aware in order to exhibit intelligent behaviour. I doubt a bee is self aware when you step on it and it stings your foot, but your foot still hurts none the less. Is it not possible right now to have a robot with the intelligence level of an insect with todays processing power. So what happens when processing power not only equals that of the brain, but in a few years after that, far surpasses the brain's ability. You cant say that with that much processing speed it would be impossible to fake intelligent behaviour that is on par with a human. The threat is very real. sox
