[Fmpro] need a friend

[Chris Alpiar]

Huh? I don't understand you. Maybe wards = words and you are trying to say
"Be careful of what you are saying!"? Not sure. But if you are I will say
that I fear no threats, especially inappropriate ones. I just see a terrible
trend that is happening. While I can't stop it I for sure will point out
when something I see is wrong. I might be wrong about my judgment and I will
do my best to be open to being corrected if so. This service (recording in
eastern Europe ultra-cheap) is a trend of sadness to me. The business of
score composing and its economy forcing people to use scab orchestras out of
the country where they pay musicians.... hmmm 1900 per hour for 50 piece
including studio time, engineers, copyists, management... must be like 20-25
dollars an hour per musician. Sorry to say it, as I am sure they are
wonderful musicians, but... well... OUCH. I bear no ill will or negativity
against any composer that uses them. I might find myself in a position of
needing that service sometime also, but it still sucks. Personally as an
American I would prefer work for American movies have all the production in
the US with union musicians. It's not always possible and I realize that so
my statement is one of disgust at the machine that makes this necessary, not
of the composers being forced to use it or the musicians playing their
hearts out on those sessions.

Hey Fabio
Watch out your English!
Seriously.
