Anecdotal evidence, someone should write a song about it.
I made a living in the late 80's early 90's setting up music studios based around Atari STs and Cubase or Notator. Now if I'm based in Edinburgh and easily setup over a hundred small to medium studios in schools, disabled centres, community centres and the majority in bedrooms how many others were doing this in Brum, Manchester, Leeds, London? Nevermind in mainland Europe and America.
Technology can and does empower creativity. Then it was musicians, at the moment everyone and their dog is now a photographer, before both of these it was the home computing - bedroom games revolution. And fit in the point where everyones kids were web designers.
In my opinion what has killed of the music creativity is the so called Music Industry. The death of the single, the near impossibility for talent to shine through the X-Manufactured dross of cover songs and the madness behind suing fans.
What we need is a good depression to bring forth the musical talent. This revolution is cyclic. Already as we hit this financial blip look at the amount of live music on your doorstep. Don't decry the use of technology, walk away from it and see some live music.
