For sure. Scary thing through Black Friday was all the music plugins being sold on the premise that it basically does it for you or gets results in minutes. Guess that message cuts through to somebody, but I feel like it misses the fact that the struggle is the whole point. Journey not destination.

In music production, there’s been a slow introduction of ai stuff to help with mixing and mastering over past few years before stuff like suno, but even that feels a bit cheap somehow. The reward is in getting through all the frustration to achieve your goal. It’s supposed to be hard right?
