Hi all, hi Daniel :)

"closed source tools such as Protools and Autotune are pushing out 
cookie-cutter sounds"

Not the quality of the tools is bad. The idea of closed source is bad. 
The usage of this software is bad. But OTOH, I never heard of all the 
issues regarding to jitter, latency compensation, sync, disconnecting 
audio ports for this proprietary software. I'm in contact with people 
who changed from Linux to this kind of software, because they 
experienced jitter, latency compensation, sync, disconnecting audio 
ports issues for Linux too. A lot of people in my age, children of the 
80ies, switched from the Ataris and analog world to Linux first, but 
then needed to use Apple and Microsoft based solutions, because Linux 
failed much too much, anyway they do use FLOSS on other OSS' too. It's 
possible to do non-cookie-cutter sounds by using proprietary software.

I'm pro CC, but perhaps I have enough to eat, because friends prefer 
GEMA ;). And let me tell you, those GEMA musicians give away recordings 
for free too.

This is a biased presentation, similar to the biased presentations of 
the proprietary crowd. I'm not fine with this black and white paintings.

It all comes with advantages and disadvantages, even pure analog 
equipment, the only equipment without bizarre annoying technical issues, 
has it's disadvantages, prime cost and care.
