Plug and Play

I hope that one day technology advances to the point where a songwriter can simply plug in a microphone and guitar, sing their heart out, and create a commercially viable master recording. I don’t want anyone to lose their jobs, but imagine a world where a writer can focus purely on the music — without needing a mixing or mastering engineer, without thousands of dollars in equipment, and without spending thousands of hours trying to understand things like RMS. That would be a wonderful thing.
