I guess I’m more saying…
In the 60s, to record an album, you needed a record deal who would finance your time in a professional recording studio, which was run by engineers with specialized roles.
These studios still exist, but they are nearly extinct. Basically museums at this point. Because as technology has improved, the access to tools that do the same jobs has become democratized. It’s cheap, widely available.
Same will happen for the still-existing mega production studios: Hollywood for movies, EA or UbiSoft or Activision for games.
