Way to Go!

What chord are you playing on that desktop?

I went to University of Iowa myself so I'll give ya props for being in Iowa. Do you get many bands in ames?

[wesley tanner]

he caught me watching my metering levels on the overheads... ames has been alright for me so far, I know the other studios in town are struggling for business, but they also charge up to $50 an hour... I still eat ramen and rock out just knowing that I can wake up and sit down at my desk... i'm not generating wealth for some huge idiotic corporation.

[Deluks]

That's real cool, even if you just record local teen/student rock and indie bands, you've got a job for life! You may even turn out to be the next Steve Albini on the way, (oh no wait, he doesn't do digital)

btw, what did happen to Goldilocks?

[wesley tanner]

yeah, he's kinda a hero... i started on nothing, and so far, it's been the way i do things that moves me along, not the gear that i get.


edit: just got the hard copy, made the FRONT PAGE

[Velvet Elvis]

Cool... another Iowa boy...

I'm just down the road a stretch from you in Cedar Rapids.

[Velvet Elvis]

Yeah.. I come over Ames way every now and then... our drummer lives in Grinnell and works in Des Moines, so I get out to his place from time to time.

[wesley tanner]

what band are you in? we should have a cup next time you're around, talk all abouts recording

[Velvet Elvis]

I'm in a group called "Just William" ww.justwilliammusic.com

I'd love to sit down and chat recording next time I'm in town.

I'm in the process of putting a new console in my studio... that is as soon as I find one I can afford and want.

I sold my last console a few weeks ago and the deal I had for a new one fell through... back to the drawing board I guess.
