The price my college station spent on a U87 they never use they could of spent that on many 1-2 tb hard drives. They get a physical cd usually a promo or single, compress it and load it into a data base and then later on usually give the singles and promos for free daily to students. I go by the bin daily to see if anything good is in there.
I feel you though I did a production for my university for a meditation cd with a re-20,U87,SM7b, mac 8 core, rosetta converters, Great river pre and guess what they want just mp3s, background music low and squashed vocal up. I made some very nice mixes and final .wav files to find out it's going to $5 fake ipods and $2 headpones mostly. Now I will use the USB Samson mic they have at the office and mix with Logic ITB with a pair of ath-m50's, and the crappy computer speakers. It just wasn't worth it to bring my own gear in and do it my way. They sound nice as 320 mp3s but still to much trouble.
