The recording industry has changed its tune over the last
ten years and as a result the demographics of artistry and
  production are more dynamic and fluid than ever seen
   before. This is the dawn of a new era, in which home-
 based recording and production can be utilised to create
  sounds that enable flux and flow in the universal music
        scene in a way never dreamed of until now.
Producing music at home is easy. All you need is a little bit
     of talent and a lot of enterprise. If you can read an
instruction manual and can carry a tune you can work with
    Ableton or Sibelius to produce a passable tune. With
  practice and determination this can become a good tune
   and then a great track worth slapping your DJ name on
and launching into cyberspace. And who knows who could
    be the next Skrillex or Richie Hawtin, it could be you!
Is it too much to ask that we leave the music-making to
 the dreamers of dreams? The professionals? Remember
them? I don't mind if you want to get up and have a go at
 karaoke now and then but that doesn't make you Janis
 Joplin, now does it? In the same way that pressing a few
      buttons on Logic to make a bloody appalling noise
 doesn't make you a dubstep artist-cum-producer, just a
muppet who doesn't know his arse from his elbow when
                  it comes to decent music.
It is true to say that the industry is shifting, and not all the
   outcomes of this are good. Most wannabes will remain
just that, and there are countless artists out there that will
never make it, as they truly aren't good enough. But what
       about the pioneers of future genres, deemed not
  marketable by the industry but able to access the people
 themselves, with self-promotion, entrepreneurial abilities
   and a real raw talent? The future of the music industry
               allows people like this a chance.
Half these little buggers are pinching music and ideas and
   are passing them off as originals. At least the coherent
   industry of a decade or two ago would have slapped a
 lawsuit on this faster than you can say Vanilla Ice, even if
 the regime was a bit Stalinist. No one makes money from
music anymore and this is a shame for the handful of great
artists that are like diamonds embedded firmly in the mud
  of cyber-space, lost among the wreckage of a shattered
 music industry. In my eyes, the dawn of the digital music
  age has heralded the death of a certain greatness. And
                    that's a crying shame.
