Don't think so...nobody cares about us audio pro's. CD's still sell strongly, but the main thing that's taking away from CD sales are digital downloads...it's really up to the consumers.
This is very true. If people cared what pro audio engineers thought, we'd all be listening in surround now. Or to HiRez audio formats. Has that happened? On the Surround Mixing panel at AES, someone said that we as engineers have to sell people on surround.

Sorry. We don't have that kind of impact or outreach. The only people who care what audio engineers think is the folks that are trying to sell us stuff. The pro audio manufacturers. Apart from that, nada. Not even the labels or artists care what we think.

The simple rule is follow the money. We as audio engineers are only significant to the section of the industry who wants our money. Gear manufacturers.
