I was just wondering how many of you out there use your studios for commercial use? I only ask because where I live the music scene is growing rapidly and the few recording outlets that are floating around are higher priced than the average 18-25 year old guy can afford. Ive toyed with the idea of opening my doors to small local groups for a minimal fee. Not so much for the purpose of making profit but as an opporotunity for me to continue honing my skills and also to help the music scene grow. I dont want anyone in my house so the obvious choice is finding a commercial space to set up shop. Im business minded and the idea of mixing music and business is exciting. I also dabble a bit in art and photography (so naturally ive merged that into artwork for cd covers and such). Would it be worthwhile to offer those services to groups as well? Basically offer the services that a group needs to record and package and move the product. Im not talking a label here but instead maybe a website. Ive also considered offering to come and record live shows for people which for some reason nobody seems to be offering in my corner of the world. All I know is when I started playing music I would have killed for a cheap place to get some decent songs recorded. So the real questions are...
1. Do you use your studio for commercial use.
2. Do you charge by hour or album or song or what.
3. Are you making any money.
4. Would you consider it valuable to offer those addition services? (artwork, website design, etc.) add some more ideas if you can.
4. And if anyone knows, how does one go about getting a business license to use their studio for small commercial use.
Thanks for reading and sorry if it didnt all come out as clear as it is in my mind. Conceptualizing seems to be a problem for some people. Im one of them. Thanks again, Spelling Bee.
