Recently Pavan Jha shared an article by Sona Mohapatra. She wrote the following:

"Every generation of musicians has feared some new machine. When synthesisers entered studios, many instrumentalists believed their livelihoods would disappear. The anxiety was understandable: Why hire an orchestra if a keyboard could imitate one? Why call a drummer when a machine could keep perfect time?
But the synthesiser did not bring music to an end. It became another instrument. Drum machines did not eliminate rhythm; they altered its vocabulary. Sampling, digital recording, Auto-Tune and home-production software all provoked similar alarm. Each was eventually absorbed into music."

Here is one case about an oboe and English horn player. Read it yourself.

From the book Behind The Curtain by G D Booth:

Shankar Indorkar: He [Rahman] says, “Just you play something. Play anything. Just open the cor anglais and play something.” I didn’t understand. I say, “What key? At least tell me something!” But he says, “Play anything, whatever you want.” So I played something, nothing, just something. Maybe half an hour. From low to high on both instruments (oboe and English horn). Whatever I could think. And he just recorded everything. So it got to be about two o’clock in the morning, and then he says, “Okay, pack up.” I didn’t understand what was going on. He paid me, and I went back [to Mumbai]. And after that he never called me. Because he had all my sounds. So you could say he has me.
