The most basic answer I have is "what will it benefit us to implement this technology?".

If we invest in software to create the music, is it something better than what we're using now? Is this an upgrade to an existing product? Will it shorten rendering / mastering times?

If it's hardware, why do we need to replace what we have? Is there some inadequacy to what we have now? Are we limited by the number of audio channels?

Simply put, we need compelling reasons to upgrade - and most of the time a 1.X release of a software product isn't usually enough of a motivator, unless there's something - like a new feature we can't live without, to motivate us to upgrade.

The "music industry" is in financial decline. Creating and marketing music is not as cheap or easy as many seem to think. Since music piracy is so mainstream, what incentives will artists have to create music if they can't recoup their recordings costs or afford to make their voices heard in the sea of crappy bands online? Will music be an unsellable product soon, and if so, will the quality of music continue to diminish?
