[atlantaprog] Re: The Problem With Music

It was forwarded to me from another list. The numbers look pretty accurate to me, except $8000 "tape costs"? The industry has been using Pro tools hard drive systems for some time now and very few albums are actually produced on "tape" anymore - so that DOES date the article a bit. I also thought the video costs were a bit low.

I remember reading this some years ago. What is the date on the article?

I don't doubt the validity of all the principles stated, but the industry is changing slowly, and I'm curious as to how out-of-date the numbers are.
