Default Will home recording kill commercial studios?

I wouldn't have any idea how to estimate this. Home recording has been
around for a long time.

Thing is that there's more music recording being done today than ever
before, with the big spike being home recorded music. This isn't
directly a result of the demise of the big studio, but due to the
availability of affordable gear capable, in the right hands, of making a
passable recording. People who would never have considered going to a
studio because of the cost and because they weren't "professional" yet
are recording at home.

It's taken a certain amount of business away from the professional,
commercial studio, but most of the music that's recorded today would
never be seen if the only way to record it was in a commercial studio.
