That happened some time in the mid-nineties. Did you miss it?

If it were no longer a viable career path, recording studios would
occupy a niche market on par with typewriter repair.


Eventually those recording in a home or hobby environment may want a
better recording room acoustic, maybe studio instruments (ie real piano,
drums, Hammond, Leslie, etc), better and wider range of mics, expertise,
selection of misc percusiion, etc.

But many will remain happy with what they get at home.

Typewriter-repair really not a good analogy.
