Seeking Wisdom & Advice

Banjoman · 13th September 2005

I was attempting to start a mobile recording business several years ago when I became too busy with school and consequently got a full time job. I'm getting the itch again and finally have spare time. I am questioning whether my setup is sufficient and if I have what I need to make a reasonable attempt at being successful.

I have:
Powerbook G4
Metric Halo 2882 non-DSP
Bias Peak/Deck
MOTU DP4
(2) AKG 414's
(2) Neumann KM184's (matched)
Sennheiser HD580's Headphones

When i stopped acquiring gear i was planning to purchase a control surface and a pair of monitors. Is this where I should be going? or...?

One more thing, what is everybody's most successful marketing methods?

Please advise

Thanks
Eric

Well, I started out in the late 70s with an 8 channel Sony MX20 mixer, a Revox A700 1/4" deck, a Crown D60 (for my headphones) and a few transducers. I've recorded legends with that gear...

You have a lot more going for you with regard to the gear you listed.

My most successful marketing method is "word of mouth."

Go for it -- make it so!
