Problem is no matter how much technology is about now there is little if any IMAGINATION or ORIGINAL skill.

@JagrrrTV I don't see that as a problem. I think it's just the evolution of these kinds of things. It is true that these people, John Baker included, had to think things differently and be imaginative because of the lack of many things that today are available. Nowadays there are very skilled people doing things that Mr. Baker would have dreamed of with loop based programs, samplers, etc. Still, I agree that John Baker was a genius.

@stacksovids12 Sadly, this is true. Almost anyone can learn to use a loop based program or sampler, but have no composing chops, ect. Anyone use bunch of preset loops and filters, I instead thinking about it. It not the technology OR analog verus digit, it's how it's executed.
