Well Ian it can't be any worse the playing a few notes here & there to tracks of any kind.....or singing...or just Dj'ing...it's a whole new ballgame out there for the pro working musician. Those who were lucky enough to ride the changing technology gravy train for the last 40+ years can change & blend in like a chameleon. It's inevitable for sure down the road as automation is increasingly taking over.
"Making Music" is slowly taking over for "Playing Music" sad to say.
