Guys, stop arguing and fighting about FREE..It ain't:
Please read the words Upon Acceptance:
The 5,200 square-foot, full-service recording space aims to support emerging artists by providing them access to a top-level recording studio at no cost. Artists and bands of all genres and ages from around the world are encouraged to apply and, upon acceptance, may reserve time in the studio to work alongside a team of experienced engineers.
I do the same with my production company (or any label...) If the band is great AND they give up a % of their rights....THEN its FREE studio time.
There's nothing free (even with Google - who resells your data, or Shoe Companies - who gets the rights for commercials or pop songs)
Have a great (free) week-end
