You can do "decent" work at 16-bit. You can do excellent work at 24-bit.But yeah, if only we all lived in Korea.

I know all of the above, but you can still get "decent" results working at 16-bit. It won't be at the absolute bleeding edge of digital sound quality, especially if you're doing a lot of various processing, but it will do in a pinch or on a budget. I personally do all my work in at least 24-bit.

With the oranges you can make some music that covers a huge variety of genre and scope. I think its fair to say that the apples are sort of a one trick pony... I'm with you, I don't think the apples are quite ripe yet. heh. I could see a web based music app with that kind of power happening, in fact I am pretty sure it will at some point, but it will take pretty long time, plus some huge leaps in web technology and bandwidth. Also, by the time it does happen, I seriously doubt it will be free. Maybe a lot cheaper though if we are lucky. : )
