Neither a Borrower Nor a Lender Be

The tools available to make good music have never been more prevalent. Each month I read cover-to-cover 4-5 industry magazines like Electronic Musician, Mix, Keyboard and EQ. I’ve done so for many years and find that it’s a good way to keep up with not only the trends in music, but also the incredible advancement of technology.
I’ll have to admit to being a bit of a technology freak myself and often take advantage of some of the latest and greatest gear out there. More and more in these magazines I find myself skipping the articles and just perusing the ads looking for the new technology to make my musical way easier and more professional.
More and more I find that the advancement of technology is pointed to the amateur musician who doesn’t really have the skills to make good music and needs a little help. This is a good thing and perhaps a not so good thing.
