    #71 - Sound engineers should be paid royalty income like all creators, demands Anil Chopra - Chairman IRAA Awards and PALM Expo, India

    "Sound engineers are artists too", says Anil Chopra, founder of IRAA Awards and the PALM Expo India. Their contribution in the making of a song is as important as the composer and the lyricist, he adds.

    Mr. Chopra started IRAA (Indian Recording Arts Academy) Awards where the name itself recognises sound engineers as not technicians but as artists.

    Listen to this episode, and do post your comments on what you feel about this new campaign/initiative. And also help sound engineers clam their rights in the process :-)
