Where will we be 5 years from now? Seems to be not such a good decade
from 2000 to 2010 for a number of reasons. A few being 911 slowed
things up. around 2000 also the internet might have been ok for some
musicians,but a few of my friends who owned music stores could not
compete with internet stores and ebay. Speaking of ebay they sure
enjoy sticking it to their sellers as much as they can get away with.
Did they study Enron. In Music some of the biggest acts of this decade
were rap. I love RnB. Rap... no comment. Being a modest musician is
not even important anymore. If you are a singers. Voice lessons? No
just LOB a frikin note up and autotune will hook you up. When I
started playing bass in the 60's it was 7 years before REO's first
guitarist took my band into a recording studio for my first serious
recording. Now a days due to cheap equipment a novice with no training
can fart into their home recording studio and put it up on the air
waves on the internet for instant gratification. The lyrics today
make the 1960's band "Doug Clark and the hot nuts" seem like bubble
gum band.
Recording labels have finally gotten theirs. No sales mass theft of
all recording artists and they thought back in the 1980's a CD player
and Dat machine would ruin them.
......Aaaah last and fighting for the least. The Recording Studio
industry. The home recording revolution that started in the 1970's
with the Teac 3340 4 track has come of age in the 2000's with major
label recording projects in people's living rooms. Most all bands
record themselves. Every man woman and child has his or her own
recording studio.
Ok I feel better. Sorry about my major rant. Tough year for me.
Downsized my storefront studio this year. Tornado hit my building
doing 50k of damage. Swimming pool poped up 10k of damage. My
recording engineering Chops I feel like I am at the top of my game
with no one to record. My cat? So tell me wise gents what do you
think. What's in store for the recording business 5 years from now?
GT.
