I think the "too fluffy" concept may well be true, for certain audiences - but not for others.
As entertainers we have to evaluate our audiences and make our own calls as to what type of music is required, and then how best to fit that need.
In a perfect world I'd like to do it all live, but reality dictates otherwise.
I agree with your statements......
Ya got to mix it up, like it or not to fill the music spectrum in todays world of splintered audiences who enjoy so many types of music, as an entertainer/musician you have to do it all, using all resources available to you. Remember these tools no matter what they are styles, mp3's, smf's, live acoustic playing.....don't work by themselves.....the people factor will always remain there .....
& when a client pays you upwards of a thousand dollars for a gig & has a big smile on their face, you've done your job very well & thats all that matters, leading to many many other succesful jobs..
