[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 50051, member: 517"] The computer is a tool, as is a guitar. Anyone who puts their mind to it can learn to use either, but it's up to the person as to what can be achieved. Just because you know how to use a guitar doesn't mean you can write your own music (and have it sound good) the same goes for someone on the PC. However, I don't believe the computer should be the only tool in a musician's arsenal. Good music needs depth and the best muscians layer their work with sounds from many sources. El-P, for example, uses a wide varitey of sources to create his trademark soundscapes. One track features The Mars Volta on guitar but you'd never know it given the degree to which he's manipulated the guitars yet it lends the song a really eerie, organic feel. I see it as analogous to my work as an art director. Everything comes together on the computer but the elements I use come from many sources, photos, sketches, paintings, whatever elements I need to create to get the end result I'm looking for.
