for you, as professionals, what is the secret of the ECM sound ? What would be your critique of it ?

Hi guys,

I'm a regular poster in the songwriting/mix section of recording.org but today I come with a different question!

While researching the state of computer-based recording back in 2004 it came as a positive surprise that the time finally appeared ripe for making the switch.

Greetings, I started a record label/live event company about a year ago and it has gotten huge. It’s multiple record labels under one corporation and we’re kicking off the big launch with single releases from each of our signed artists.

You read it well. The major labels plan to abandon the CD-format by the end of 2012 (or even earlier) and replace it with download/stream only releases via iTunes and related music services. The only CD-formats that will be left over will be the limited edition ones, which will of course not be available for every artist.

Hopefully this thread hasn't been started too many times. I apologise if there is a thread on this already but I couldn't find anything that matches the question I want ask exactly.

Hi all,

Hi everyone,

I know this technically isn't the right section (or forum) but it's related and this seems like the best section.

So I'm working on the birth of a record label that will be releasing old field recordings of local heritage type music. A decade or two ago my boss gave some of those recordings to County Records and they used some of them in a compilation. My boss has the original masters and nothing was signed when he handed over copies of the recordings.
