Its not how big it is that matters!

I  am fascinated by the use of  low cost tools to make engaging films.  A mentor of mine in the field of audio who had recorded some of the top musicians of the 70's and 80's told me "  its not the tools we use that make a hit record, they often get in the way of the process."  Of course this didn't make any sense to me at the time because the big recording studio was the way to make a hit song in my mind.

I have been on many big recording studio projects and film shoots over the years using some of the top cutting edge equipment etc......  What I have been seeing lately is some amazing things done with some simple tools that lighten the load and seem to provide more freedom to the recording engineer or film maker.
They say that when technology provides the tools of creation that are cheap enough for everyone the real artist will emerge?

With the venues that the internet platform has giving us for sharing our art, there has never been a better time as a artist to get out there and make it happen!
