There is a problem with music being made easy in that it becomes harder and harder to seperate the talent from the talentless.
No, it really doesn't. Whilst you can in fact polish a turd (mythbusters proved that beyond doubt) you're still left with shiny shit at the end of the day.
Genuinely talented artists will stand out. These days however you have to look outside of the mainstream to find much of that talent, which requires effort on the part of the listener. Seems not many people or at least too few are prepared to go to that effort.
