What value does the music industry add to artist's work...?

22. None at all

The bloodsuckers at the major labels only take, they add nothing. And any young artist about to sign a deal with a major needs to look up the word "recoupable" and fully understand it well before inking a deal with the devil.

Digital recording and the Internet have opened avenues for indie artists like never before. I own a 24 track digital studio and have had the pleasure of working with some really great artists over the past few years. I'm about helping them get where they are going rather than trying to drain every last drop of blood from them I can.

And yes, I charge a modest hourly or project rate for my services, I have to or I couldn't afford to maintain and improve my facility . 2011 was a great year and I'm hoping 2012 is even better. With any luck, I'm planning on adding a 24 track 2 inch analog machine to the studio. Not cheap to keep and feed, but I'm hoping to offer some indies with the budget to do so the opportunity to have a truly "big label" sounding record
