As for studio people ripping CD's, it doesn't make any sense....An album can be seriously jeapordized by it being leaked to the net first, at least in the eyes of the labels. It would only hurt the situation for the studio/engineer....Who wants to use a studio/engineer that they can't trust to keep the project under wraps?...

As for me...I take CD's with me all the time, but they are NEVER converted to MP3's, nor do I let any of them out of my possession. I actually destroy them after I'm done listening to what I need to listen to....

My guess is that it's "friends" of the artist or people in the promotional chain...They have nothing to lose personally by the album leaking, and someone always wants to be the "first" with a copy of the album...

As for Tech's stuff, we give copies to NOONE except Trav and several people at MSC... The promo CD's going out was beyond our (Chapman's) control...I probably wouldn't have sent out the whole album, but that's me...

INTERNS! most commonly as far as studios go. I can't remember who it was but recently a "big" artist got fucked cus of some intern who stole some rough mixes. (stole-made copies of protools files)

i don't understand interns that would do shit like that. talk about shootin yourself in the foot

Yeah, it sounds better that way, but to me, people go all wrong with their Enhanced CD's... I think that taking a different approach would be a good risk, and more tracks is good, but something extra couldn't hurt... Sometime's those damned enhanced CD's freeze up computers too... So they are a waste of time half the time...

I know Manson put an Enhanced cd feature on his "Holy Wood" cd, and you pop it in and I believe you can either view two or three paintings, or click on a revolver and make that little "spinning revolver" sound... ReHab (I miss those guys) put a nice long ass video up on their disc, but what the hell do I want that for?

DVD is def. the way to go. I don't even bother to find out what's on the enhanced cd's these days.

Yeah, I feel ya... DVD's are lovely, and makes it that much better.... When you are a local artist with a limited budget and your first effort, it isn't so bad.... Sort of like a use it or not feature.... But cant hurt...

The first one that I saw was WU-Tangs, and it was stupid, but if I was younger it would've been amazing.. ha, ha...

Well it was interesting at first, just not the way to go. I mean they're like "If we take off a song we can fit on the video to the single". LoL... Spare me the video. I see what you're sayin' though.
