Another great article is by this guy who wrote a column called Life with Larry. And if this is the same guy who owns Lookout Records and became rich off of Green Day, I can see why he'd say this. It's all about money. But if he's not, I apologise. That is not a big deal at all.
Major labels exist to make money.
They do, and my philosophy is to figure out ways to exploit them and not to blindly whine about them. It fries your brain enough to make you stupid. He should study the physics of sound a bit more. I have heard quite a few people who record purely digitally and get the analog warmth. My ideal, stupid as you might think it is, is to see music be Free .
