not always.It's always been this way.
It's the same as Football or any other 'hobby?' careers, there's probably millions out there that play football at an amateur level, trying to get to a professional level so they have to do other jobs on the side, very few are earning millions a week.
Also, computers have been 'making' music since the early 80s, but then they recorded with the proper instruments. Whereas now there is more acceptance of electronic music.
Funny - been talking with a mate today about an english assignment we were set in theearly 1980's - "how are computers going to affect music".
I argued strongly that the lack of having to play a musical instrument before producing music would lead to a race to the bottom because peopke would be able to produce music without any understsnding of the whys or whens - and that it leads to derivative shite with the emotional range of teenagers.
Mate argued that it was a great thing.
