I've worked with both computers and live musicians alike. You can make
beautiful music with other people on their live instruments, but the
downside is logistically it's a big pain in the ass. Having one or two
people churning out the music from a desktop isn't as humanly interactive
as working with a whole band of musicians, but the bullshit factor (in
terms of logistics, scheduling and attitudes) is significantly reduced.
