This is all very fascinating, and quite disturbing at the same time.  I think 
its great that technology is bringing this sort of stuff along, but can't help 
but think that music is about interaction.  I think a big part of the equation 
gets thrown out when its all prerecorded, even by great musicians.  I feel like 
performing can be so much rewarding when you are actually interacting with 
others.  But, hey, whatever works for ya...
   With that said, I think these sort of things  do  look like  great shedding 
tools.
