Having a whole orchestra is the AAA game equivalent.

And then, you know, you move forward and think about it sort of
the era of playing instruments and take jazz, which is highly technical, right?
Like every single member in a jazz band is excellent at their instruments, right?
Like it's really hard to be that good of a musician and play jazz.
And then, you know, fast forward a little bit more and take someone like, you know, Swedish Avicii as an example.
But he didn't really know how to play any instruments.
may or may not be correlated with making great music exactly exactly my point but but he actually had a different tool he had he had software right and he's actually he was really good at that software and you know all the knobs and um you know plug-ins and all that stuff and how it worked and a lot of musicians are that way today like if you actually look at the workflow it's very technical
Like I have this thing that I do where I probably shouldn't admit this, but like I said on YouTube on evenings, I look at music producers, their workflows, and like when they get into the weeds of like decoding how they do stuff.
