“What's important is a great set of objective ears, years of experience and a great room with a true sound. Look at this way: If the equipment in a studio is a high performance car, and the mastering engineer is the driver, putting the car on ice and trying to achieve a good lap time is like trying to master music in a bad room, all the equipment in the world wont help you connect with the music and let you hear what's really happening. The room is the environment in which the mix performs to its potential, as the road is to the car. It's hugely important.” IfsWorldWayTryingYearsLooksImportantHelpingSoundRoomsEnvironmentAchieveCarMastersHappeningsPerformancesEarsStudiosObjectivesIceDriversEngineersEquipmentLapWhat's ImportantYears Of Experience Author:Chris McCormack
“People want to buy mp3s but can't? Piracy ensues. Then Apple strong-arms the music studios into the iTunes store and music piracy drops somewhat.

“People are piling into England, there's lots of studio films happening there. When we budget our films we multiply it by 1.55 it's much easier than when we multiply it by 2 so the cost looks a lot less in dollars, because everybody talks in dollars in terms of finance. And then the shift that I think is coming, I hope is coming, is movies made in a..."simple" is the wrong word, you visit movie sets all the time I imagine, the whole process has just got so big.” PeopleThinkingLooksMadeWholeBigsFilmProcessTermSimpleImagineEasierCostHappeningsEnglandDollarsStudiosFinanceBudgetsMovie SetsWrong Words Author:Eric Fellner
“I think 3D is a great innovation for the film business.

“It's completely unsexy [Yello, "Oh Yeah" 1985]. It does capture that weird '80s materialism and "We're gonna get it on now" vibe. But it's a very juvenile approach. It also became a weird signal for comedy, in the sense that when you heard the song, it meant comedy was happening on screen. I feel like this song was probably done in a couple of minutes in a studio.” FeelsDoeDoneSongComedyHeardMinutesCoupleApproachHappeningsYeahStudiosScreensMaterialismCaptureSignals80sJuvenile Author:Margaret Cho

“The business side of film has goofed up so many things, but even that's changing. It happened to the music industry and now it's happening to the film studios. It's crazy what's going on.
