OT: working in the music industry

[Augusto Pinoche]

Some time ago there was some discussions
about how it was to work in the electronic
field as an ingeneur or designer etc, there
was some issues that was raised.

Some years ago those issues was up again and there
was someone who was tierd of being hired and fired
every two months, he was working for Ensoniq writing
software for the Ensoniq keyboards,
if i can recall this right.

Another case is the dude who did the ASR-X
machine for Ensoniq and suddenly was fierd for as
it seams to no reason at all, whit some other 20
dudes of the engineering department!

And the last thing i heard about Ensoniq was the DSP
engineer who made the signal synthesis algos for ensoniqs
effect boxes was sued by Ensoniq for some paper that was
published!!

In some ways it seams that Ensoniq is no god employer!

Then we have the idiotic behavior of the CEO of Gibson
who main purpose is to kill Opcode as much as he possibly
can, as far i have heard that hassle is still not solved!!

Then we have the stories about how companies was
more or less stolen,like Tom Oberheims, etc.

Some of you have or still do work for some of the
brand names in this electronic industry as engineers
techs etc etc, it would be interesting to know what is
your experience of working in the music industry!

Has the Music industry been taken over by the
economist in suits as the telecom and internet
field has been?
