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.
