You missed the point I was trying to make. I'm saying that actual musical instruments will never become obsolete and the experienve of playing them will never compare to the experience of using a computer. When computers were relatively new in the 50's, people were saying that 30 years from then, computers will be the only way to make music and instruments will no longer be of use. Still hasn't happened. Computers are simply just comlementing music now. We can think that there might be a huge shift in the way music is made in the future, but I doubt that computers will take over 100%.
