Since most of the people here are also home recordists, I don't see how advertising your studio here will benefit your studio.

That, and his post is SPAM.

I don't know how people do it, honestly with the gear investment and the time involved, and the aggravation, in a highly competitive, saturated market . . . I will hardly wipe my butt for $25 an hour, I tell ya . . .
 
I don't think there's a problem with the OP's post since it's a smaller home-based recording studio, which fits the demographic of this forum. However, I would prefer to see active/contributing members make these postings and not someone who is just coming here to plug their studio.
 
my most humble apologies

sorry guys. my intention is to become part of the community. as someone was kind enough to point out in a post from another thread, i am new here. i didn't think posting a link to my studio was a big deal since i thought all of us here were recording enthusiasts, and i posted it in an "advertising" type thread. evidently i didn't read clearly enough about the types of ads that were there.

yes, i have a home studio. i don't try to pass it off as anything more, but i do try and promote a professional vibe and production ability. like most people who are good at what they do, i don't feel it matters if the work gets done at home or at some commercial location with a sign out front.

in regards to the reference to me supporting spam... i try to be supportive of everything or everyone until it's proven to be unworthy. i don't want to flame anyone for a post until an untruth or abuse is evident. after a while the true colors will be shown so why bother with immediate attacks.

too often people are quick to judge and will say something negative before positive. i don't mean that in an accusing way, it's just been my experience on the internet. i'm a positive supporter of the community and wish that everyone would try to do the same. clearly you all have knowledge and experience to share, as do i.

with that said, i'll stop with the social commentary and do my best to contribute more with the general topic... RECORDING!

again, sorry to rub your feathers the wrong way.

I think once you have spent some time here and post some songs and/or advice from your experience, you can be quickly accepted. :cool:

In your denfense, there have been bad apples that have come along over the years (many spamsters), and your OP of this thread may have smelt like what may have come before you. MOST people here do not hold a grudge, so don't worry, just jump into the water and have fun.

I see no need for apologies. Maybe someone here who's been around longer than me should say this but, what the hell - Welcome to HomeRecording! :D

I completely agree. I think I'd go batty if I had to do a bunch of jingles and bands I didn't like. I've gotten to the point that I have so much neat stuff and a decent ear where the stuff doesn't

If you run a true pro-studio where your livelyhood totally depends on the studio being rented out, recording stuff that is disinteresting or not your favorite genre actually is a blessing. For if the studio is empty, you're still paying rent/mortgage, payroll, utilities, insurance, maintenance on the structure and equipment, et al.

Been there done that. That's why in my last two disasters of pro-studio (many moons ago) we ran specials in local papers all the time soliciting garage bands at lower rates than normal, as well as "be a star for a day" kind of thing - to attract karaoke fanatics who wanted to record themselves onto a tape or CD, to show off to their friends. We discovered quickly that the "be a star for a day" made a great gift, and offered gift certificates in fancy boxes to be given to boy/girlfriends, spouses, relatives or whomever. The "be a star for a day", while recording related, was also about atmosphere as well - we often dimmed the lights down, used a couple of stage spots in the life room, provided simple appetizers, soda, coffee, etc to create a semi-broadway type of atmosphere.

Made good use of the "dead days" best we could.

Running a pro studio is a tough business to be in - the competition is stiff, and a lot of established studios have a reasonable lock on their clients. Fancy, expensive hardware and software everywhere, miles of well documented wiring, etc.

Still, it's probably the best form of self-employment there is - art is always more enjoyable than sitting in a cubical, wondering the dust on your monitor never seems to go away. :)
