ABSTRACT

The world of modern music and sound production is multifaceted. It's an exciting world of creative individuals: musicians, engineers, producers, managers, manufacturers and business-people who are experts in such fields as music, acoustics, electronics, sales, production, broadcast media, multimedia, marketing, graphics, law and the day-to-day workings of the business of music. A recording studio's control room serves a number of purposes in the recording process. Ideally, the control room is acoustically isolated from the sounds that are produced in the studio, as well as from the surrounding, outer areas. The role of the professional recording studio has begun to change as a result of upsurges in project studios, audio for video and/or film, multimedia and the Internet. These market forces have made it necessary for certain facilities to rethink their operational business strategies. Music lawyers, like many in this business, can be involved in the working of a business or career in many ways; hence, various fee scales are used.
