Live music will surivive the next century of high tech advances... Sure, music has become increasingly processesed, & produced with hight tech advances, creating what I like politely to refer to as a "packaged" sound;ie: canned. I think of it not as altering the medium so much as creating a new medium. An analogy... Similarly theater came into high tech with television.TV's nature demanded more processing, more packaging, more producing. Theater is weaker on TV then live. Live theater remains special in its own right, and always will be, it is its own medium. I think similarily, live music, and live sound, will always have a special place, no matter how far technology brings us. High tech processing, mixing, mastering, sampling etc....has in my mind created a new medium, not replaced the medium. Live instruments and musicians will survive.
