Where is the music production game headed? The recording industry’s assorted crises and upheavals have undoubtedly affected the careers of many artists, and the musicians working behind the scenes have felt the changes too. Shrinking budgets! Technological breakthroughs! The increasing perception of music as a commodity! Producers have had to adapt to the times, dealing with some issues as old as the business, and others where there are no precedents. And what exactly do these times look like?
Toshitaka Kondo & Chris Ryan @ Rhapsody did a great job setting up a producer roundtable to address these very questions. Participants include Danja, Tricky Stewart, JR Rotem, DJ Toomp, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Sean C & LV and Don Cannon.
