Per Steve's gracious invitation, I'll sound off too..

Name:
AjD (Adam)

Rank:
Owner / Operator of drawingroom, just outside of Ann Arbor, MI (recently moved from motor city)

Specialty:
I don't record remote, so I guess I'm the odd bird here. However, I'm a producer/musician/songwriter, and I do a *lot* of one-room all live, old school style-recording. I believe it's a lost art, and it's high time it be rediscovered. Many of the same concepts that you remote guys use every day apply to me as well... I've been 'borrowing' your ideas ever since I found this board.

Oh, and I also work part-time at home - so I guess I'm part of that burgeoning 'home studio threat'. However, I do 2-3 records a year, hand pick the artists I work with, and do 'real producing' - I help artists' vision their projects from the ground up, old school producer style, and often arrange parts and play lots of instruments on these releases too. I'm also serious as a heart attack about my gear and my room. Ask me about it... I love to talk about what I do. Yes I'm that humble

.

Thought for today:
This is the new 'golden age' of recording... as I age (I'm nearing 40), I'm finding it's easy to glorify the 'good old days', but someday our grandkids will talk about our time (right now) with awe. What we're all doing with the new gear and new techniques is revolutionary. History will remember us that way, I'm sure of it.

We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality - judiciously, as you will - we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, & that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.'' - Senior Bush advisor, NY Times, 10/17/04
