Since the turn of the millennium, both
the record and recording industries have
gone through a major upheaval.
Because of the collapse of physical media
sales (CDs) and the minimal margins
on streaming, the record industry is a lot
smaller than it used to be, but it seems to
have now found its footing.
In this issue we interviewed four Brooklyn
label insiders about how they operate
within this new scenario. The result is a
feature many of our musician readers
should find informative, and at times
even surprising.
Recording also went through a similar
transition caused by the rise of home
recording, which empowered the artist—
while killing many professional studios.
The advice we’ll be providing for musicians
about recording is even better: six
live classes about mixing with some of
the best producers in the world, at the
fourth edition of the NYC Mixcon, hosted
at the Manhattan Center on July 21-22.
Hope to see you there!
