certainly (adj.):
Depends on what for. ciertamente

For live musical performances? Heck no!
The whole point of a musical performance is to admire
a human’s interpretation of a piece via playing a musical
instrument. There’s nothing to admire about a computer
playing piano because it’ll play the piece perfectly, and you
won’t be able to feel any emotions coming from the computer.

For soundtracks and backing tracks? Certainly.
Many films are already beginning to use soundtracks that can
be created with software that simulates musical instruments,
rather than soundtracks recorded live in a studio. There
are many reasons for this— the biggest one being cost. A
soundtrack composed by one person and rendered entirely
in software is a lot cheaper than a soundtrack that requires
hiring dozens of professional musicians to practice and
record in a studio with a ton of expensive equipment.

The same goes for backing tracks. Many successful singer-
songwriters are already doing this. It’s faster, more efficient,
and much cheaper than getting a band together.
