The present: This article describes the current music biz situation rather succinctly, but the comments are even more illuminating, since most of the currently common viewpoints are represented and very well expressed:

That link to the free plugins on the keyboard mag website doesn't work anymore. I never got a chance to look at that. I came around today to check it out but it's gone. Do you still have any of the working links?

Thanks

@ Gong: Most of the plugs are still available; you may need to Google around a bit. I found a few more hidden gems while I was searching. KVR Audio has updated links to most of the plugs. If you don't have Google access in your location let me know, and I'll arrange a download for you.

I was expecting this, and it may not be the first nor the only sheet music app for iPad:

Some of these might be a cool way to pick up an extra nickel or two, even for library composers...
