With new technology and new tools come a different way of making music.
Take this evolution for example:
First came the sampler.
Then came the samples.
Then came the loops.
Then came the loops that matched each other.
Then came the construction kit.
The came the complete e-Jay song.
Then came the complete song, with vocals in a bundle from Native Instruments, it marketed itself for you all over the world, and you collect the multi million benefits for _only_ $999.95. Now that's what I call progress!

Then came a global cataclism and
Then came wooden sticks and hollowed tree trunks. |

On a slightly more serious note, how will music production look in the future? It's obvious the music is going to be more comples, since so much material is easily available. I mean, you don't need to do the drumwork yourself, simply use EZ drummer and there you go - instant groovy drum work. Just an example. The same goes for every other instrument these days.
So what is left to do? Which musicians will be successful? They who are good at marketing? They who knows how to add good lyrics?
I don't have the best clue of the market, but can you buy say a DVD with 100 complete songs? Which are all cleared for professional use? Then obviously it is a question of time. To buy that DVD as soon as it is released and then make minor adjustments to the songs as needed, and then market and sell them? 
After all, you should do what you do best. Nothing wrong with that!
Just struck me that tailor made music has to hold it's ground stronger in the future. Becuase everything else will be ready made. Or what do you think?

I would like to think that people, as human beings, like things made by human beings. We appreciate it more. And I dont think we'd allow machines to simulate music written from the heart.
I know there's alot of commercial music that literally comes off production lines that people buy and listen to, but I dont think people will ever allow music to be completely pre-written.. I dont know.
But you have a good point about buying whole music CDs and making minor adjustments. Seems a bit bizzare tho!!

| It's like with baskets. Or furniture. Or ... you know. Some grandpas do those things manually, put ornaments manually, and I guess they just sell them to enthusiasts or neighbours. Or snobs. A musician playing an instrument can become such a grandpa. Romantic and unpractical, a relic of a past era. |

You can't be serious! Handmade stuff is always better. When you listen to music played live and sounds being produced not by a computer, but with the real thing, you can hear that this music is far more moving and beautiful.

Maybe. And maybe that is already happening with some kinds of music? Like old music that are close to our countries roots? A small share of people enjoy it and those doing it does it for the good sake of holding up a tradition or for sentimental values?
The more popular kind of music however should stay alive.
