In modern digital music, it is possible for the producer to be the only person involved in the creation of a musical recording, and is able to be responsible for writing, performing, recording and arranging the material. The term "producer" is nearly synonymous with "musician" in this field. This change has been partly due to the increase of inexpensive yet powerful music production software (such as ProTools), which allows for entire tracks to be composed, arranged and recorded at home on a computer, allowing the traditional roles of a team of people to be performed by one individual. With the advent of portable recording equipment, live album production has become much more cost effective than in the past couple of decades. This has resulted in thousands of live music recordings.
