In this week’s podcast Mike Thornton, Eli Krantzberg and Steve DeMott consider the future of the music industry in which record labels are no longer the dominant force. They discuss what role the producer can play, who undertakes artist development and whether live streaming is a viable business model instead of gigs for both artists and crew.

Talking Point
In the music industry, a world where label dominance has been eroded, the industry continues to reform itself, with the upshot is that budgets have shrunk, which has meant that we have to be more creative in the services we offer to stay relevant and working!
For example, over the past year we have seen a huge increase in live streaming, to try and replace the loss of live gigs, which were a main source of income for musicians and how they were paying for recording/mixing/mastering that we do. How are we adapting?
