Very Interesting Take On The Modern Music Business

It seems that a lot of companies and artists are trying to still work from a 1980s era model on music sales, distribution, and so on.

Andrew Dubber & Co., under the name "New Music Strategies" are putting out some interesting ideas regarding the modern music business. NMS are actively trying to establish a new methodology, particularly from the standpoint of making it as an independent.

Also, Dubber's e-book is well worth a read. At the very least, it will get you thinking a bit differently regarding models of music sales and distribution.

As for my thoughts, I'm mulling a few things over. I'm thinking I might be implementing some of these strategies in upcoming releases. I let you know more as it comes.

Can't thank Floyd Toole enough for his work on utilizing a room/speaker combination to get accurate monitoring. Very, very cool stuff. Whilst initially somewhat counterintuitive (it could be useful to place a speaker in a modal null?) Toole's info has led me to a different look at speaker placement/control room arrangement that is providing much more accurate low end. It's drastic

So... I highly recommend his book, Sound Reproduction: The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms. Not the lightest read, but well worth it!
