Okay, so we all know that the studio biz in in the ****ter. (More or less.
NOTE: this statement applies to the New York Metro / Tri-State area, and I cannot personally vouch for anywhere else. Although I would suspect it applies to the recording industry in general.) The questions I present to YOU, the people at the front and in the proverbial trenches are thus: 1. Will the glory days of lots of big-budget projects for everybody come back, and if so how soon? 2. Where will the next big boom in recording come from? (Another round of hip hop, indie rock, dance, etc.) 3. Will MP3 eventually kill the CD in much the same way as CD's have all but killed casettes? I'm just curious as to what people's opinions and thoughts are in these stressful times as we all try to make sense of the big picture. I have no answers. Mike. |

Will the glory days of lots of big-budget projects for everybody come back, and if so how soon? No. Only for the chosen few. (Egg Hd?) 2. Where will the next big boom in recording come from? A nuclear blast ? 3. Will MP3 eventually kill the CD in much the same way as CD's have all but killed casettes? No way. I'm just curious as to what people's opinions and thoughts are in these stressful times as we all try to make sense of the big picture. Sorry this is so short, but I'm trying to make sense out of a next gig. I have no answers. Come to think of it... I guess I didn't either. -- David Morgan (MAMS) http://www.m-a-m-s.com http://www.artisan-recordingstudio.com |

I'd be interested in reading that article about the aging boomers filling the
gap. What is PSW? Is that another newsgroup? Thanks. |

1. Will the glory days of lots of big-budget projects for everybody come
back, and if so how soon? If there are lots of big records and big trends. Not knowing the demo of the posters, it's not unusual for another generations of producers/engineers and studios to be now doing the work and the "older" people sitting idle. Who ever has a recent hit on their resume will be working but that's what's it's always been about. 2. Where will the next big boom in recording come from? (Another round of hip hop, indie rock, dance, etc.) When we all find out about it it may be already on the way down. 3. Will MP3 eventually kill the CD in much the same way as CD's have all but killed casettes? We'll see. --------------------------------------- "I know enough to know I don't know enough" |

Labels will ask artists for a triple album each time as opposed to the
double they are getting these days! Where does this information come from? --------------------------------------- "I know enough to know I don't know enough" |

The Next Big (or Old?) Thing
An Exercise in Self-Convincing Reality By: Larry Mistrot (Associate Writer) 2003-06-27 As a fan of all things Rock & Roll, this is a very intriguing concept. I can definately imagine scores of indie rock people being totally enamored with 40-to-60-somethings coming out with a new album (CD, whatever you want to call it.) And by the sheer novelty of it, who knows, the first group to do this would probably be really huge and all over MTV and on TRL and all that nonsense. UNTIL... thee 33 1/3 second attention span of the 13 to 18 year old demographic is exhausted, the novelty wears off, and then it's back to boy bands and Russian lesbians. The old rockers will still be around, but I don't see that being the next 'big thing' any more than the White Stripes have made 16-track 1-inch the next 'big thing'. My apologies for the cynicism. I know nothing Mike. "Could it be that the Next Big Thing in popular music could come from a completely unexpected direction - mom & pop? That's right kids, your dad may be competing with your favorite pop diva or boy band - climbing the charts on the Internet. Not so! Incredible! Not possible! - you say? |

Horse**** - they want to preserve the income they (and everyone else along the food chain) get from selling the other dozen songs nobody really wants to hear. Yeah, there really aren't a lot of what I would consider "great" albums anymore. There are some ofcourse, but a lot of the times I hear stuff that shouldn't have made it. I don't think that the trend going back to singles is such a bad idea. Maybe there would be more quality and more of a chance for smaller artists to prosper. --litepipe |

Didja hear that two famous groups who I don't think I've ever heard and whose names escape me have just announced that they won't sell their music by the song through Apple's iTunes? They say they want to preserve the album concept. One is one of the ones that came out against Napster, I just heard about that, it's Metallica. and the other is about the same. Did you hear this NPR story on Itunes featuring Stephen St. Croix, who is "addicted," has 7,000 songs he bought off Itunes, and whose current goal is to "go a day without buying a song:" http://discover.npr.org/features/fea...l?wfId=1308449 "Album concept?" Horse**** - they want to preserve the income they (and everyone else along the food chain) get from selling the other dozen songs nobody really wants to hear. I wonder how many "Deep Album Cuts" (Claasic Rock Radio's term, ten years ago, for an album's "minor hit") are being bought off Itunes. -- I'm really Mike Rivers - ) |
