Band doesn't sell.
Label loses money.
Label spends less money NEXT time.
There's less money in the pot for all the producer-studio's.
And we see the next lot of said producer-studio owners' gear up on eBay.
Can we PLEASE stop blaming MP3's on the decline of the music/recording/whatever industry and start looking at the reality?
Can producer-owned studio's exist? Yes. And they should.
But they should exist to create value for money by creating a more valuable product not so the F***in' producer can double-dip.
Everybody blames the kid in his bedroom that's trying to figure out how to use some software on his home computer. Why don't we start blaming producers that don't know how to engineer or engineers that don't know how to produce?
At least, hopefully, the kid MIGHT come up with something new, different and, god forbid, even ORIGINAL through his journey of discovery which is much more than can be said for some (and I say SOME, certainly not ALL) producer/engineer's trying cut someone out of the food chain so they can line their own pockets.
Personally I don't give a half a S*** about keeping the big console industry alive.
I care about music and it's ability to keep US alive, both financially and spiritually.
