Damned if I do
Don Zientara, owner and chief engineer of Inner Ear Studios, where many of D.C.'s best bands (and most of the records on Dischord) have been recorded, is closing down his studio due to lack of business.
lol. i fuckin hate latte'sboomtap said:It doesn't take millions to make an album anymore. Labels are going to eventually be distributors, and with mp3's who knows.
Supply and demand. There are now studios in every other house where I live. So the stuido down the street has very little demand. So the studio lowers its price, installs a starbucks, and says "free hour of recording with any latte".

It's still open, but in a completely different building. The only thing left of the old 9:30 Club is the facade on F Street. There's a condo going up there now.dwillis45 said:Shit! The next thing you gonna tell us is that the 9:30 club is no longer open! I can still smell F street even though I haven't been there for 10 years!

If these studios are closing, is it because of bands going to big time studios in new york and la? or is it because alot of big bands (limp bizkit, metallica, etc) recording with their own producer (or no producer) in their own studio and sending it off to a big time studio for mastering? is it both of these factors or is there more to it?
