Cheap Audio Production

Posted by michael on Friday May 2, 2003 @04:03AM from the get-what-you-pay-for dept.

OneInEveryCrowd writes "Rolling Stone reports that four out of five new albums are now produced by a program called Pro Tools (or similar packages) that costs $495 for the home version or $15,000 for the pro version. The article describes a fairly amazing savings in time and effort compared to the older ways of producing an album. I realize that a talented producer can cost a lot of money and some bands drink a lot of beer, but why aren't the benefits of lower production costs being passed on to the consumer?"

I think you mean "Life after Love". If you believe in Love after Life, then you're pretty twisted.

In all fairness, he was talking about Cher, and AFAIK she did die in 1978.
