But, then you can argue that because so many people have the ability to make great records, that an audio engineer whose work stands out means a lot more than it used to. One way is to say that because many people can afford great sounding pro audio tools to make records, that the engineering world is becoming more saturated than it used to be. Steven: Well, you can argue this two ways.
