On: Cheap Audio Production

pro tools doesnt necessarily cut overall time / cost. it saves a ton of time in the actual recording process, but the real benefit of a good producer is helping the bands make better songs. pro tools just gives the band / producer more time with that

im sorry but it needs to be said

i think this is good. people still using nt4 systems will be influenced to upgrade.

On: A Music Industry Case Study

Artists never make money from the album. Nothing has changed. It's their merch, their ads, and their concerts

I know one barely platinum band that got paid $80,000 to play one concert. After payouts and taxes they each left with about $6,000 for ONE NIGHT.

also, when a band sells a lot of albums (500k, 1m etc), they get more money from the label and publishing (where most of the money is)

maybe not?

ya, here's a warning to you all

had a friend SMS me when she landed so i knew when to leave and pick her up. got a call a few hours later "where are you?"

"....no you didnt"
"yes i did!"

etc etc

so she waits in the airport for 2 hours, and halfway home I get an SMS.

"leave now"
