I get the point of musicans are missing out by trying to learn the art of recording and stressing over gear, techquine and technology. I've wasted countless hours on this boards reading about what gear is good, why Baringher stinks or why I should save for an American Strat instead of buying a Mexican.
but when you get down to it, don't a lot of bands that play live have to cater to indifferent audiences who judge them by their covers in hopes that they can sneak in 4 or 5 orginal tunes a night? I mean what is wasting more time, learning, playing, and polishing "Brown Sugar" or the latest top 40 pysdo rock anthem or educating yourself on how to present your music better?
To me the two go hand in hand. You won't go anywhere if you don't have great music to present and you won't present it if you don't get out in public.
Even George Martin has come out and said home recording is going to kill the buisness. If it is the business as we know it then yes, and the death can't come quickly enough for most of us. The innovaters are going to make great music until the bean counters figure out a way to kill it. Music, TV, movies have always worked this way.
