| In the mid-90's, the local Miami SPARS chapter invited Tom Dowd to speak to the SPARS group on the future of the recording industry. Back during a time where MIX was publishing articles like "Diversify to survive" and "ABC's of Audio Post Production", lol. We gathered at the Bee Gee's studio and sat at the feet of Father Time, and listened with great intent. He said:
"I can remember a time when there were no Commercial Recording Studios....*long pause*...And I can envision a time when there are no commercial recording studios."
Mouths were hanging agape. Stunned silence filled the room.
This is not what we studio owners wanted to hear at all.
But it was dead-on accurate.
Tom knew his s**t, i guess. |
