You know when you hear a great one. <BR/><BR/>I think they are either a part of the record level, or subcontracted to make a recording for the label.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth (not much) I'm not 100% sold on them being essential to the recording process, kind of along the same lines as me being comfortable playing shows without Jimi Hendrix in my band. I've written some good songs that would probably be better if Jimi was in my band, but he's not. I've made recordings that would have been better produced by George Martin, or Todd Rundgren, or whoever. Unfortunately, none of them will return my emails, so I make do. <BR/><BR/>I can make a recording on my computer that's way better than what Robert Johnson was ever working with, etc. You've heard the argument before, I'm sure. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure plenty of people will disagree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-73166920206529914672009-02-10T19:54:00.000-05:002009-02-10T19:54:00.000-05:00anonymous, where do you see producers (people like...anonymous, where do you see producers (people like Todd Rundgren, Howard Jones, or George Martin) existing in that four-step process, part of the studio time?

If artists and consumers as a community can come up with a set of relevant search terms for their music, 'promotion' can be handled through search engines. <BR/><BR/>The way things are headed, recording and distributing need to be seen as the "marketing" side of the equation. Marketing is about spending money to get money.<BR/><BR/>You get money with "products", which are gigs/ticket sales, the licensing for movies and TV, and whatever other creative way people will invent to get people to buy their music. <BR/><BR/>I can think of a thousand ways an entrepreneur might make music pay. But record labels don't get a seat at the table because their function is obsolete. So what? What's the big crisis?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-59349826189441407612009-02-10T13:30:00.000-05:002009-02-10T13:30:00.000-05:00I think it also depends on the model used for musi...I think it also depends on the model used for music creation and delivery ... The problem is that the model has shifted; there are still plenty of non-musicians and non-promoters who can and are making money off of music delivery (the zillions of coders working on iTunes being an example), but they aren't the same middlemen they once were.<BR/><BR/>It just feels to me that the delivery model has shifted, and so the people who "deserve to be compensated" are no longer the same people they once were. It's a bit like the ascendency of the car over the horse, and someone trying to cobble together a way to ensure that blacksmiths can still get a cut of the pie as the horses disappeared. Of course, there were still tons of jobs to be created with the ascendency of the car, but they just weren't the same jobs. The blacksmiths had to just give it up and start training as mechanics.<BR/><BR/>What is the NEW business model of music delivery? What needs are not being met with it? And don't try to force it -- you're being an anthropologist, here. Observe what's HAPPENING. Chart the path a piece ofm usic takes from a person's head to someone else's ipod. What are the steps? Who is involved at each one? That's the sort of crunchy ethnographic garbage that needs to be done for anything like this. It's not a business model; it's anthropology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-57360023156582876692009-02-10T11:30:00.000-05:002009-02-10T11:30:00.000-05:00Any comments on the closure of Ruckus?

It depends on who owns the rights to the music. That could be the performing artist, the songwriter, the label, the publisher, or someone totally unrelated to any of the above.jherskowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797190582674008000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-38629443488400745642009-02-09T16:16:00.000-05:002009-02-09T16:16:00.000-05:00And compensates those that deserve compensation?Th...<I>And compensates those that deserve compensation?</I><BR/><BR/>This is a serious, serious sticking point, like the spot on the blackboard in the old Far Side cartoon that says, "And then a miracle occurs ...

I'm not necessarily asking this to be abstract or snotty, I'm literally saying that these categories of people who deserve compensation and yet who do not actually create the music or haul the sound equipment around must be catalogued very explicitly.

They should be innovating their way out of the hole they dug for themselves. They should try everything to get people to buy something for any price. Instead, they pretend they still have some control and horde their resources.

Everyone else on the Internet wants decentralization.<BR/><BR/>Record companies are no longer important to the creation and distribution of music. There will be ongoing battles until the record companies are dead, or they manage to restrict everyone's Internet rights to the point where decentralization of music is not possible.<BR/><BR/>Yes, in my opinion, the record companies do not care at all about the Internet itself, or what privacy rights they trample related to the Internet. If you gave them a choice, I'm sure they'd prefer there was no Internet at all and then they could keep their centralized control model pumping in the cash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-42646162429882684002009-02-08T17:40:00.000-05:002009-02-08T17:40:00.000-05:00Labels & the industry need to have Internet st...Labels & the industry need to have Internet start-up departments that is a clearinghouse for us little guys, so we can go to them and get the rights/contracts we need to avoid being sued and continue our innovation; bringing the music biz into industries/models they never dreamed of!<BR/><BR/>Also they need to buy seeqpods of the world and monetize all the music on the servers across the world. Right now that is not happening rather Warner is suing Seeqpod, hopefully the lawsuit is really a way to work towards monetizing all the music on the web.<BR/><BR/>The industry has progressed thankfully, but comparative to their film brethen (Hulu) they are far behind still.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-56495358560484852752009-02-08T16:38:00.000-05:002009-02-08T16:38:00.000-05:00I'm pretty sure that what you're asking for is ext...I'm pretty sure that what you're asking for is extremely hard to do.
