Well that certainly says something about the "average" music. So someone
who is not happy to sound like their tools want them to has to learn
something more... or be un-happy. I know such a musician, they have a mac
and a sound interface, not sure what audio apps, but they do have the
money to buy whatever (paint houses by day). They don't use the computer
to do music. The stuff sits there, yet he uses it all the time to create
graphics.
I think there is a difference between the average user and the average
musician. There are enough users around who want to make music that keep
the win/OSX SW going and selling.
I think there are a lot of musicians who don't use computers because of
win/osx software.
