I personally think it's great that so many people can express themselves
with music. i'd rather let everyone do it and sift through it all to find
the gems, instead of have a mere trickling from peopel with gobs of money
(or really, really good timing) that may or may not be good/innovative.
when the music market is wide open is when the best music will come out.
I'm sure of my own belief that IDM came into being because some people
jumped on cheap old hardware and made it do new things, not because they
were holed up in a studio with expensive gear that's beyond most people's
means.
The entire genre, and most GOOD music, is born from people who simply want
to make the music. Putting that technology in more hands can only do
good. so what if some of it is sucky? It's better than no music at all,
and there's a good chance that it WILL be very good.
