I've watched a 'major' player do takes for a solo to be part of an indie soundtrack. I happened to be in the 'big' PA store here, the one with the stages that are trailers and the stacks and stacks of PA gear big bands use. Their studio is in the back of the 2nd floor. Some recording guys from Toronto met this guy from Montreal. Sax player.

The spent all day for 30 seconds of material. About 6 hours studio time. Figure it out. Fly the guy in and back. A whole day to organize the studio. One of those 120 some channel boards with 3 guys in a booth. Catered lunches. I got there at 2, they locked the front door and gave me an adult beverage.

So if software can sort of duplicate that process then shazam, yer onto something.
