How much serious recording is everyone doing and why?
Donny: For the live player it may not be a major issue. But, for the song writer I see it as an invaluable option. When writing a song or audio track for film...it's highly unlikely that you would play it start to finish. So editing and mixing would be necessary. And with the quality of sounds the modern arranger can produce...creating final mixes for said projects is now achievable.
