label head Darragh Jye turned the attention from making radio shows to producing

musicians, but now looks like settling into a firm line up.

iTunes: The 99c Question An Independent Record Label's View
by David Faiman,
With a showdown approaching between the major labels and Apple over 99c price for the downloads, and now UK's Music Managers Forum also unhappy with iTunes pricing, I want to give an independent label's view on this subject, given that there are over 1000 independent labels on iTunes. With almost 15 years of experience of running an independent label, I think that the majority of my peers will agree with my views. Of course, I doubt very much that the majors will actually remove their catalogues from iTunes store; nevertheless, I¹m very concerned about the developing situation.
Are CD's Becoming Obsolete? DVD-Audio Is Here, But Will It Last?
by Blake Althen & Paula Bellenoit
A few months ago, I sat in on a seminar about a new audio mastering software program. It was pretty much the same old thing -- a slick GUI (Graphical User Interface) that would dance before your eyes with a new 3-D look. Let's face it -- all the programs have the same basic features when it comes to audio mastering. Sure, every program has its pros and cons, but they are all trying to compress and equalize the music to make it "jump" out of the speakers. Some programs may remove digital clicks or reduce noise. But, with digital equipment being very commonplace these days, the issues of tape noise are diminishing.
