Yes OMB or even Organ players eg: Bret Whales let's say that play foot bass, auto rhythms, accompaniments & audio backings represent the same problems regarding taking the place of live musicians...let's face it, it's been roughly 30-35 years of modern technology as we know it and it has changed our lives, our music, etc, forever. Complaining about it now is fruitless & I highly doubt it will return to the way it was for so many reasons.It's just too late now. Embrace what you love to play and enjoy your style of music. But to stay on topic, the "Human Element" must always prevail vs a Robot at this stage of the game I'd say.
