Well, have you ever played even mildly experimental computer music to a 
crowd? Do you know what happens at the end of your set?

"hey man, nice set! what software do you use?!?"

Happens to basically everyone. There is something about performing with 
computers that makes people curious about the software used. This topic 
has come up on this list a lot over the years.

And in a scene where a large percentage of the listeners are also 
creators, the process is going to have more sway than usual.

At the end of the day, however, there's few people who listen to music 
solely for the process, and only a jackass will refuse to listen to 
something they actually like simply because of the software used. As 
I've mentioned before, there are a lot of well respected people who 
make fantastic music with generally disrespected software.
