the fact the barrier of entry to make music is lower
than in the hardware era. Random Joe makes a loop, add random sounds,
and voila: instant track that goes knowhere that might find a label
since it's so easy to release digitally. Listening sequentially to
listings of beatport or juno is a painful experience"
i hear this argument a lot and i think it's rubbish. i'm sure
industry people were saying the same thing when chicagoans started
belting out drum tracks on (then) cheap roland boxes in the early 80s,
but that turned out pretty good, i'd say.
think of it this way, you could just as easily go back in time and
imagine similar things being said, like this:
"the fact the barrier of entry to make music is lower than in the
symphonic era/big band era/rock n roll quartet era/arena rock era".
technology always changes and expands the possibilities for music,
both good and bad. if you don't like the bad, don't support it.
pretty simple equation.
The good news with the easy access to making music is that in all those
new producers a few outstanding ones will emerge.
So there's still hope for great music and advancing technolgy heh :)
