Probably right.  But that technology is so inexpensive and everybody has it
now, which leads to everybody including those without musical abilities
flooding the earth with recordings.  That leads one to think back to older
days when first you had some kind of musical talent.

Which reminds me, I've wanted to call for some kind of synth pop/rock
competition where people would pick some tune from the 60's - 90's and do a
synthesized version.  I've always wanted to do a synth version of the
Beatles "Strawberry Fields Forever", but I'm wondering if even with a synth,
it's possible to get it as strange and psychedelic sounding as the original.
However, as you know, over the years the only synth competitions that
succeed are the non-musical aleatoric ones, and any other suggestions to
doing something that requires musical ability can't get any support beyond
about two people.  Which supports the point in my other thread about synth
use.
