While I personally would not want (or rather, do not currently want) a
purely virtual studio, anyone who's lived in a dorm room or similar space
would love the idea. I've got most of a smallish room in my flat for my
studio (the rest is storage), but I can easily see needing more room, if I
were to get many more pieces of equipment (Waldorf MWXTII, Andromeda,
drool.... and what about FX boxes?). About the only direction my MOTM can
grow is up.
Now, if I had to stick a bed and dresser into that same ammount of space,
I'd bee pretty darn excited about having a virtual studio.
Also, remember that limiting one's resources tends to make one more fully
explore those resources, resulting in breakthroughs.
