Thanks for the share, watching it now.

breakages on digital downloads....

It kind of reminds me of a documentary I watched ages ago that went all the way back to Tin Pan Alley - the amazing thing is the level of ingrained slight of hand (and historically how it grew).

Thanks again for the share

 

The best and worst marketing trick at the same time: Analog warmth and depth (for plugins).

 

That's why I just couldn't get involved when I had the jizz to do so. Gottdamn thievery, cutthoats and criminals.

 

They doesn't even bother to change the mantra: if you can't make money from music, make money from the music maker.

 

Welcome to AS @Fried Potato!
I eat you!

 

Ouch that's cute, thank you.

 

Great doco every musician or anyone earning some profit from the music business should see.

Regarding plugin prices, I noticed on Plugin Boutique and ADSR Sounds such bargains last couple of years, generally since the Covid kicked in, it's incredible. Yeah, you can get some plugins for 95% off. That unfortunately means many developers are scrapped for money, too, and that's not good. Well, no wonder as the society has changed considerably especially for some of us... I'm barely surviving and can't even afford plugins at 95% discount. [big thank you to our savours R2R, RET and V.R]

"May you live in interesting times", as the old Chinese curse goes, and we definitely live in "interesting times".

 

Subscriptions.

 

@BEAT16 Why have you now taken away the first video? And replaced with something totally different?
That was a brilliant, truthful docu.
I thought you would continue to add, rather than edit!? lol

I will have to change my rating now.
I think that first video was useful...
nvm.

 

The video that was there before is unfortunately no longer playable. I don't know why, so that it doesn't stay empty, I took another one. Sorry ..!

 

YT shutting down 'the truth', brother!
Wow. What a shame.
Wish I'd ripped it now.

 

here you go - I think this was the film you posted (or the highlights of it at least)

Someone should start up a charity for these poorly underpaid rock stars.

 

Thank You @MarkyMW, for the link, I put the video back in the above.

Broke: Plugin Companies as they currently exist
Woke: 2 Payment options, like Patreon you can pay for each new plugin that comes out and/or give a constant sum (for maintenance) and pray that it works with the finances. Jk you don't need Jesus if you actually code decent plugins.
TLDR, Just do it like TDR (I know they have a different model, but close enough) ;)
