Change that from "Tape recorders" to "Synthesizers", and I would
agree with Paul.  The advances in ease of use allow for one-man-bands,
a feat which was nigh impossible in the early days of music.

Heck, even I, with no training in drums, can twiddle around in
7/4 time on a friend's drum machine, and come out with some
neat sounding beats.  It seems to me that advances in technology
erase (at least partially) the lines between professionals and
amateurs.  Maybe that's a good thing.  Maybe not.  Maybe both.

Later,
Blake.
