I've used a computer creatively every day for the last 30 years dude. I know what it is. Your amp and footpedal comments are entirely beside the point. Buddy still has to operate strings attached to wood with his human body. Anything attached to that is just fluff so far as my point goes. There is nothing that happens inside the box, no matter how complicated, that is anywhere close to being that profound. The tool, the computer, has devalued that to the level of minecraft.

Man you’re bringing it into a different context than how I am taking about it. I never said watching a movie compares to live music in terms of how it feels. I’m a musician too that plays live and there’s nothing like that energy. Even human error becomes part of it. A computer can’t bend a string to an unknown place, only a known place. And I believe that’s why live music performance will never die. Filmmakers will never recieve that sort of direct response from their craft.
I was merely comparing the computer in filmmaking to the electric guitar in music as a transitionary tool. There was music before the electric guitar and when it hit, music was never the same. There was filmmaking before computer editing and then it hit, and filmmaking was never the same again. That doesn’t mean everything after it is bad. Hendrix didn’t invent the electric guitar, and he wasn’t the first to play it. But he was the first to do it like THAT. That’s why I compared Spiderverse. There was computer and hand drawn animation before it, but it was never done like THAT. I’m not comparing the actual act of playing music with doing computer animation.
