Hi Rob! Very interesting points about the sense of things and the importance of that. The owner who is the main engineer and emailing like he will be the one who records me said he likes the Folk song from 1967 I chose, "Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell. Maybe you were the one who listened to...

Hi Rob! You've really "been there" with pro studios! Thanks for sharing, quite a journey you're on! I did wonder why there's separate time and 1 hr minimum for mastering but do not know how all that happens where you do. I had the feeling too that it is in their hands and not the musician's...

Hi TalismanRich! Thanks once again for your helpful advice! I don't know how I missed your post, but see my post #32... as I explain the time gap that has occurred etc. It's my answering Rob's also helpful advice and considerations and the "why" about where I am presently. I haven't made the...

Hi Rob! Thanks so much for your giving so much first hand expert advice! This studio I went to on my bicycle as a trial run 3 times now and 2 different means of getting there. I broke my personal rule the second and third times and combined using city bus and light rail as I don't want to get...

Hi All! Some might be wondering what I'm doing as I haven't gone to that pro studio yet. I made 3 trial runs by breaking my CoVid19 rule and combining public transport I needed to know the best route and exactly how long it takes me to get there. There's a lot of city between the studio...

Hi MooZeeck! Thanks for sharing your talent both musically and with creating your own music video! I'm only amateur, but you are some kind of musical genius with all those chromatic runs and key shifts and changes in the meter... the dissonance, yes! I throw a lot of terminology around there...

Hi Steve! Was fun to actually see and hear your music performance! I thought those mountains were in some exotic location in Spain or Portugal ha! The mountains I realize are arid around the LA area. You are a very professional and talented artist and videographer/sound engineer! It's...

Hi Bouldersoundguy! If you or anyone here don't have time for this I understand. Thanks again for your patience Bouldersoundguy and your advice with other hurdles I've had too! When I'm in that studio I won't be near a computer to use USB power. I have a Zoom LBC-1 battery charger...

Hi gecko zzed! SORRY AS I THOUGHT I POSTED THIS AND SEEMS I DIDN'T CLICK TO POST IT Very nice of you to respond! It only operates by battery, I think. I don't know where the little manual is right now as I type this, but because of it I think the reason I purchased an extra $35 battery was...

Hi Steve! Very nice of you to give such first hand advice to an unknown amateur like me! I just went to YouTube and listened to your songs, "First Love, Last Love", and, "Cry Of The Young", and you're phenomenal! I just looked at your Tascam and it's quite a piece of technology way over my...

Hi gecko zzed! Very nice of you to respond! It only operates by battery, I think. I don't know where the little manual is right now as I type this, but because of it I think the reason I purchased an extra $35 battery was because they run down so quickly and do not plug into like an AC power...

Hi Steve! Thanks for such great advice and for taking your precious time to do it! I'll write more via "edit" later as I have a long bike ride ahead of me. I commute 100% by bike, so sometimes there are delays. I just want enough daylight for my trip but so glad to find your helpful entry...

Hi hautbois16! Thanks very much for taking the time! I just lost about 40 minutes of careful thinking through my note to you and lost it when I wanted to look up Rob Aylestone's name and went back one page as he had made the same great suggestion as you a few days ago, to bring my Zoom Q8...

Hi Rob! Wow! A magnanimous deed! I do random acts of kindness in my Senior bldg, so it goes around! Do you mean edit the video part around what the studio does with the sound track? They'll do the audio mastering and I think you mean editing the video part, wow! I have to go as I'm...

Hi TalismanRich! I have to think this through. You say, 1 hr. I'm thinking I'll tell the engineer I'll choose the best one out of 5 takes... well that's if I can play 5 full takes without error. They have a 2 hr minimum and shouldn't I maybe then bring my first original song I want to...

Thanks again Rob! I'm not sure what you mean by: If it was me - I'd use your zoom to record the audio sessions as video I thought the way people lip-sync is to record an in-studio audio track, then play it while lip-syncing and video camera going, then later like in Reaper take out the track...

Hi Rob! Thanks very much for responding! I guess the way it goes is to record the audio which I'll do in that pro studio (they even recorded Leo Kotkke there before and other major musicians... but that is all in their bigger studio. I'll be in their little studio.). Are you saying I need it...

Hi Again TalismanRich! So nice of you to put up with me still ha! My old guitar I started not to like? Hearing my own videos first time... I got objective with myself. I did dig deep and at noon May 27th a used guitar I bought through Reverb Nation arrived. It's kind of like a new friend...

Hi Rob! Thanks so much for taking the time to consider my challenges. I've never put my money down like that where time is of the essence, and $50 an hour is 83 cents a minute, or counting the mastering that is definitely needed too, and say it takes 2 hrs recording time, then it's really in a...
