Yep -- it's a digital replacement for musicians who'd know how to play behind the beat already, and not sound out beforehand. Great groove in the song, but shitty frosting can ruin a good cake.
Being a Luddite guitarist, I detest the digital influence on music most of the time. I like techno as a mood-thing, but I much prefer music to be organic, whether it's rock, hip-hop, classical, or whatever. I'll make exceptions: Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Prodigy -- but whatcha gonna do if the power fails? Can you play this stuff on an acoustic?
