Some big companies should own these places simply to be cool..

Cant help thinking that those griping about home studios, will in the end, be glad they DO exist in 10 years or so when they may be standing on the rubble of what was the commercial studio business. |
there was a great article in the new yorker some years back about great nyc
music venues and millionaires - bascially with the theme that vibe and profit usually
can't hang under the same roof. if i know correctly, cbgb's finished up last night....
i think a new artist owned commercial studio business is developing and will develop......
it's hard to beat mixing desks and tape recorders.......
it's a shame there is no nrs in london that i know of - a place that makes a very
small profit on tape.........with the £/$ situation.....everyone yonder should not
have to pay more than £100 for a new reel of tape.......
my limited experience pricing tape in london is that the retailer triples the price.....
all those old machines should be spinning in basements and garages.......
or with one soviet style collective to track basics in a big room for everyone
to convert and bring to smaller facilities
as willy wonka said "we are the melody-makers; we are the dreamers of the

be well
