2768946, The new kids will be alright Posted by CMcMurtry, Fri Jan-11-13 09:15 AM
Sure, there are more producers then ever. But at the same time, there is more accessibility to make music than ever, and as someone who doesn't make music and thus has no vested interested, I think that's (mostly) a good thing.
It no longer takes equipment that costs hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to make beats, nor do you need a to spend a fortune on records to sample.
Who knows how many talented people were dissuaded from pursuing beat making 20 years ago because of all the costs involved. Now, they're doing shit in their moms basement on Fruity Loops.
While some may be threatened by this because they "don't appreciate the music" (whatever that even means, and as if anyone really knows if these kids do or not), I think that's a positive.
