I wrote a rambling reply about very cheap (and Free) tools alowing the bedroom studio to be a useful thing, lessening the grip of big labels on musicians then realised it was obvious / noone cares ;) dG Horay for cheap audio hardware Some of my favourite musicians can afford to burn CDs and give away mp3's at cost, they dont want to make any money, just noise.
