I know well enough what you mean, and I don't want to downplay any aspect of it, but that software you're talking about that "all but makes the music for you" never ends up sounding like music to me. I don't totally dismiss it as "non-music", but when I hear tracks that are using Pro Tools presets it's obvious that the person who recorded it was just dialing it in. Music ultimately requires analog sounds and the interplay between musicians. Software can never truly replicate that. |

This is nonsense. First of all, there's no such thing as a digital sound. Once it's sent to the speaker, it's analog, regardless of whether it originated inside your laptop or from a guitar. I would bet that you can't tell the difference between a top-end VST emulating an analog synth and a real analog synth, or a Kemper Profiling Amp and the real tube amp it's modeling.
I enjoy the interplay between musicians as well but you can make a great album tracking all of the parts yourself and there are entire genres of electronic music where it's standard to not have more than one musician.
