Not sure why I got downvoted. There's a false dichotomy here... I agree that there are really cool things with this technology, opening up a lot of possibilities for music creation for those that aren't well versed in music composition to get their ideas out. I think that's great. Just like how electronic music allowed us to have digital recordings to play the same song cheaply over and over again, and also allowed people to create great tracks with only knowledge of music composition and no need to learn an instrument. That still doesn't change some drawbacks, which is what you lose when you do that. It's mostly an economics thing. There's value to having artisanal products over industrial ones because of the craftsmanship involved. The artist or craftsman's personal touch ends up as part of the piece. That used to be common but now it's just a high end product for rich people to afford. There's a downside to these kinds of technologies, even if they bring benefits.
