I know there is always going to be a market for hardware but it is getting increasingly smaller as the generations that grew up with it are diminishing & the generations that came into music on software/PC's are the majority. They are the future customers & they are the one's that are going to decide whether hardware has much of a future or not. I'm guessing there going to say 'who needs it'...I'm pretty much there myself.
Vinyl sounds better than CD's, MP3's etc. but when was the last time anybody bought a new 12"? My Virus sounds better than pretty much all my VST's but the amount of software instruments I can get for the price of a single Snow makes it pretty much obsolete to the next generation.
