They took the industry by storm a decade ago and resulted in vastly superior sound - clean and tight, with more impact at lower volumes. Big venues tend to be horrible acoustically, and line arrays allowed the sound engineer to aim the sound very

Technology has enabled people to do and achieve what Coppola said in that quote.

Everyone can be an artist and participate in a somewhat level playing field due to the fact that technology today is a great enabler.

He must have seen the writing on the wall, and trends, that led him to say this years ago...

I enjoyed the book as well, and liked your discussion of tech incubators. After having read the book, the person next to me on an airplane flight was reading it, and had a <a=href"http: innovation-politics.blogspo...="" 2009="" 10="" joy-at-work.html"="">nice discussion .

agree with your post completely. I do feel as well that for bands to be successful that they need a second unbiased pair of ears (it would be great if that second pair of ears was an engineer as well). i have seen bands where they will have the guitarist or someone else be the engineer, and it just doesn't work as well. Like you stated, you just need a fresh perspective nowadays

Re: Tell Me What I Need To Know

patwoodward — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 23:54:21 -0000

Well, it all comes down to knowing your customers right? If I have a feel
for what most of them tend to like then as a band, you'll have a good idea
on how to approach this.

Clean, concise messages that have links for more info is a good place to
start.

The problem with communication preference is that it depends on the receiver's preference. You like short and sweet. Comparing the 2, I'd probably prefer Metallica's because it gives me a sense of personality.

Is there a middle ground like, usually short and sweet--occasionally a little bit more?

I love it! That is really the most interesting part of what I do with clients- balancing their creative skills with practical applications or vice versa. Good stuff. I wish you lots of luck with it and I completely get the urge to understand the world better- especially the way it is operating at the moment!

Thanks much for your thoughts. Keep us posted on how it's going.

Hi Remabulous - I'm doing it to increase my knowledge of how the world works. Applying this knowledge to life and work and connecting past experiences to it, is really cool. Having experience in the creative and business worlds *and* connecting the two is a fun place to be.

What made you decide to go to the program? I ask because my tendency to bounce between the art world and business world in my own work has made me curious about maybe doing something similar at some point. Do keep us posted on how it's going. Perhaps I can just live vicariously for now...

Re: Use Care in Connecting With an Audience

patwoodward — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:13:09 -0000

Yes, the stream of the doings and happenings of an artist's life can be good
for the audience. Watching and helping artists be creative with how they do
that is what I'm excited about.

In addition to the 'real and authentic' value I'd say that there's another benefit that an artist gets from using the newest form of broadcast tools (correctly).

The ability to communicate a constant stream of one's life to a large number of individuals creates a level of familiarity and a very strong connection with minimal investment.

For example, while we're not too close I feel a stronger connection to you partly because I'm able to follow your day-to-day activities... the same activities that I have traditionally only known for close friends. I mean, I know that you went hiking in the canyon, had lunch in burbank and enjoyed a smoothie.

Artists can benefit similarly.

Some are already using twitter to this end,

It is mind boggling how passive that is. "The train isn't coming towards me that fast, so why should I get off the track if it might still stop?"

There's a big difference between musical talent and recording/production talent... Every artist today can buy a computer and some recording software, but not every artist is going to be able to get good results with it.

I agree that an experienced mixer -- as well as a mastering engineer and, depending on the type of music, a studio engineer -- are still needed by most artists who want to create great records. In my experience, mixing/mastering can really alter the emotion and impact of a song. Subtle differences in the mix, or the mastering, or even the tracking of your instruments can sometimes be the difference between whether the average listener perceives your song as great and exciting, or just okay and not that captivating.

Yeah, good article. It's hard to to see the change manifesting in a dilution of the neighborhood, with rezoning and corporate entities moving in.... but it is safer thats a fact.
