Why on earth would I want to start a record lable to help artists?
I know plenty of people with the ability to record reasonable high quality music without a proffessional lvl studio. I dont think for a minute that the quality matches a real studio but I bet its about over 95%.
Also even if the current recording industry was destroyed that wouldnt mean musicians coul no longer make any money, but they would make much less than they do now in genneral.
If you look at the history of all art its pretty clear that when art becomes driven by profit - it does not increase in quality.
While it is true that money allows artists to focus on their craft - it sadly distorts the art it self. While is the natural to a degree, and in some case has caused geniouses to be rather prolithic, our current music "system' has taken this to never before seen lvls. Look at the 10 or 15 most profitable "artists" last year, most of the have music that is wriiten to fit and traget demographic.
