One thing I really like about this film, whereas a lot of documentaries will filter and edit the material to guide you towards the filmmaker's opinions and conclusions, Recording in Progress provides a spectrum of viewpoints about the recording industry and recording studios and lets you form your own conclusions and opinions.

You can enjoy this film even if you have no knowledge of or particular interest in the recording industry.

Greetings again from the Lightness. The other review nailed it - there is no legitimate denial of the fact that Napster, then uTorrent, both of which combined to become Spotify (same people in all 3 companies) and in the span of about 5 years managed to kill off 99.9% of proper professional brick and mortar recording studios around the world. Congratulations are due for Obama not only making a deal with Spotify (a Swedish company),but actually endorsing the company on the USA white house government website!! Ya just cant make this stuff up. What'a useless clown. RIP.

Ya see, this is what happens when Spotify takes over.. death of the indie pro music industry. 1% or hobbyist. Thats it. Period. No money coming in = no money for recording in studios. This film is a joke peddling a lost cause to newbie wannabe dimwit suckers.

Genius how Daniel Ek and Sean Parker (Spotify = Napster/uTorrent v2.0) managed to fool the masses into supporting their 'create the virus and provide the cure' scheme. In 2018 when Spotify went public, each of the owners (Ek, Parker, 3 major labels..) instantly received multi-billion dollar CASH payments. They just paid Joe Rogan $100,000,000. For a fn talkie podcast! And still, Spotify is literally actually suing musicians, indie record labels, rights organizations, the government itself and the almighty end all be all customers... devalue and destroy everything, swoop in, take over and take control.. global domination. 30% of all songs on Spotify have NEVER been steamed even one time. 98.6% of the world's artists average LESS than $12 per month in streaming royalties. On and on and on. Our current and future generations of quality indie professional creative arts are done and dusted (as is clearly presented and evident in this film). It's all about ads, clicks and data now. Thanks Silicon Valley!

So to all you supporters, I say, enjoy your mandatory "diverse" all-you-can-eat garbage paint-by-numbers buffet style mobile phone "free" content subscription packages. You deserve this level of crap entertainment, now and forever.
