'PRS, MCPS, PPL, MU, PAMRA? What are they, and which are essential?'

Yeah, I'd like to know that, too. Paul Reed Smith, Mega Cycles Per
Second, P-Pop Limiter, A kind of metal used for magnetic shielding, and
a coffee beverage?

Hehe! They are all organisations that deal with royalties and things in
the UK. I seem to be ending up with points on some tracks nowadays, and
though I am PRS registered, apparently I need to contact some other
acronyms and register as well. I think they weigh the amount of paperwork
you send them and pay out accordingly.
As the lines between engineer/producer/artists are getting so blurred I
figure I should understand this stuff.


There are plenty of people in a similar position to you on the Sound On
Sound forum - try visiting http://www.soundonsound.com and going to the
Music Business forum if you need some help.


'Long term archiving techniques'

Dave Martin wrote an article about that in, I think, Audio Media. Come
to think of it, I haven't seen an issue of Audio Media in about a year.
Did it go under, or did I miss another subscription renewal notice?

I used to read Audio Media in my local library. It has vanished from
there.

I got the latest issue last week with Nuendo 3 featured on the cover.

Cheers.
