Kind of cracks me up reading the comments about vinyl mixing vs CD/Ableton/PC - makes me think of the old musicians comments about synthesisers/arpeggiators playing music/being skillless, and the elitist wank that I know from personal experience lots of 'contemporary' musicians like to spout about electronic music.
The end result is what counts, and whilst technical skill and virtuouso performances on ANY instrument may increase your personal enjoyment of a performance (as it does for me, being a keyboardist/composer), for the majority of punters its about the music and the performance, and the way it makes you feel.
My friendly opinion
