In Reply to: Why can’t all the musicians record their music.... posted by millen on March 23, 2007 at 09:17:47:
What are recording credits on that CD? Someone had to provide and operate professional recording equipment (microphones, digitizer, mixer, playback amplifiers, monitors). If Patricia Barber did it all by herself, that would be extraordinary...Artists need sound engineering and production services, and there is no way around that. Traditionally, those services were provided by big record companies. Nowadays there are many small companies that can do the job as well and for less money, and artists are contracting these companies to bypass big labels. This positive trend increases the diversity of recorded music. Big companies tend to promote their arbitrarily chosen "stars" and to deny contracts to many worthwhile artists.
