We were crazy busy Friday and Saturday, and all afternoon on Sunday - I never got a chance to leave the booth to walk around and see other companies' exhibits.<br /><br />As for trade shows 'fading away (thank God!)' - there is plenty of info on the internet but there is no substitute for face-to-face human interaction and being able to see, touch and hear new gear in person.Gilhttp://wavedistro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-76189692547735607412011-10-24T21:53:32.829-07:002011-10-24T21:53:32.829-07:00Adding to:

That said; I see versions of the "wrecking crew" where 10 albums are being produced around 2 each session players with a new headliner, all being recorded out of their home with modest equipment but "the mixes and overall fidelity is as good as anything you hear on the radio" these days. This "record label" has no desire for big rooms or big budgets but are making a great go of it with sales. This is the future of the field I have been in for 35 years. The mix engineers I worked with decades ago all have their own rooms...at home and some of them are quite nice and excellent work is being done. I currently master for well over 300 clients (repeat upon repeat) and as "these rooms" continue to grow, my business model seems secure.<br /><br />The old model has simply priced itself out of the forseeable market.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481503305627496074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-9475050868480324052011-10-24T18:46:47.508-07:002011-10-24T18:46:47.508-07:00I was looking for you Friday.

Trade shows in and of themselves seem to be fading away (thank God!)....to much info is available on the Internet.Factory Yoyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322226883823187246noreply@blogger.com
