Agreed. There are many more options available to the average "laptop
musician," let alone "desktop musician." With more possible variations,
there's more chance of making something crappy, but that's the "risk." Of
course, I won't go into all the bad 80's music that was made with
electronic instruments (or maybe, "unstruments") and no
computers. yeesh. Radio stations with 80's flashback weekends creep me out.
So there's always been shitty music. It's just that with the proliferation
of computers, and the illegal software that goes along with it, we're just
*much* more aware of it now.
ah well.
