Why does most new music suck?

Looking to Upgrade my CDP

Building new house need advice on a dedicated room
I would agree with the posts above about getting as much education as possible before you start. My brother and I built a recording studio and there are many opinions about that topic. "Studio Tips" is a good source for acoustic informationhttp://...
