This is a rant about the tools of the trade, but i would think that the player,the instrument and the performance will always have a significant place in the production of music. Additionally, the amount of information left out of this rather shallow analysis leads me to the conclusion that it is more misleading than informative. Some styles of music will happily follow your prescribed path but the styles that, by their nature will not conform will retain a significant place in the spectrum of music production. The "democratisation" of the production of music has allowed this to take place in the "lounge rooms" of talented players. I look forward to a great future in the production of music that is generated by the movement of air rather than the movement of electrons.

I've been producing/engineering as a career for about 3 years, and have worked and recorded in multiple "professional" studios. This doesn't really qualify me as an "expert" but I do happen to have a little more experience than the average bedroom engineer. Some of our work (Rob and I) is on the player at the top of this page so you can judge for yourself. <br><br>This article contains predictions based on numerous trends that I have seen in the recording industry. Technology is democratizing the barriers to entry that once made running a studio unattainable for most. I believe there is a very unproductive self-righteous attitude that exists in the "old-school" community that is based more on the cost and exclusivity of the gear they own rather than the actual quality of the work they do. I'm not in anyway suggesting that bedroom recording equipment is as good as the equipment in a multi-million dollar studio, and I'm not defending poor quality recordings. What I'm saying is that modern technology is bridging the gap, and we are getting to the point where experienced engineers can create "professional" products without having to use a $500,000 console. <br><br>At the end of the day, all that matters is the quality of your product. I know of engineers using a small amount of professional outboard equipment and the vast power and flexibility of modern DAWs to create major label quality work. We're not there yet at our studio, but I attribute the difference to experience, not gear. It may be unfortunate to the "old school" crowd, but like it or not, this is how the recording industry is changing. I'm just choosing to embrace it rather than get left behind.
