Mix Magazine needs clarification re: Burst

Two problems related to Burst in the November issue of Mix Magazine :

1. This month’s Sound For Picture section is titled Creative on Demand : Composers Reap Benefits From Production Music Libraries and, in our not-so-humble opinion, misleads their readers as to who’s responsible for the stature of FirstCom’s Velocity Music Library (through the beginning of this year, that would have been us).

2. The Track Sheet column for the Midwest region falsely credits us with recording “Chester French’s first release.” We did record overdubs for their Star Trak debut, but that’s it.

So Mix gave us credit where we didn’t deserve it, and didn’t credit us where we did (though a case could be made that they were getting their information on Velocity from FirstCom or the new producers of the library, in which case we’ll take this opportunity to set the record straight).

By the way, our recording studio is Burst HQ, not Burst Labs.

It seemed more appropriate to host the more complete (read : whiny) post at my blog. [dh]
