This feels like weird gatekeeping. Why is this the line? Where are the complaints about people using pianos to achieve rather precise notes instead of using their own voices? They are just untalented at singing and their use of any tool to create sound is of no net gain to anyone. This person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbUE-LxhUR8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbUE-LxhUR8 ? They're recording and playing back on a loop! They should record full repeated playings, any use of the recording is of no net gain because it could be achieved otherwise. Songwriters? If they write lyrics and someone else sings them the result should be cast into the sea - it's of no net gain to anyone because they did not create the sounds themselves. Composers? Frankly pointless. > Flooding the world with unpolished, unpracticed works I hate to break it to you but there are a vast number of terrible works of art out there already. > What this tells you is that skill or level of performance is not the barrier, but a means through which great things CAN be achieved (i.e. necessary, but not sufficient) If it's a necessary thing, of course it's a barrier. That there are two barriers doesn't change that.
