| I think it`s a good thing for guys like me that want to run a REAL studio but also want to be the boss. I`m too old to take orders from people and bring them ****ing coffee. I took enough orders when I was working for other people in my early 20`s. I`m the boss now and I`m sure as hell not going to demote myself to servant boy once I`m doing audio for a living.
I hate to say it but it might be a good thing for the industry if more and more studios like mine start adding more to the music that`s being listened to out there. It`s kind of a middle ground between the big studios with the super sound and the home studios with the crappy sound.
Bands/people that have TALENT but can`t afford to go to an outrageously expensive place to whip out a demo or something can go to my place and theoretically get the same sound quality.
If it`s just me and possibly even a helper I can keep my fees low enough to give everybody that comes in the "all star treatment" like the bigger studio would only give to it`s highest paying clients.
I can take the time to make them comfortable and get solid performances out of them which wouldn`t be the case if they were being charged $100 an hour or more.
You can probably get a decent couple rooms together with a decent PT system and some nice mics and pres for under $50,000 these days. Why on earth would you forego that and go work for somebody for 5 years for shitty money ? If your running your own show for a living you`ll get up to the experiance level you need to a lot faster because that`s your meal ticket.
I`m just sorry I waited so long to tell the truth. Theres a lot of studios around here that are doing well with the kind of equipment I upgraded from 7 years ago.
