Route 2: Buy some gear, business cards (the absolutely most important piece of gear out there), and go to local shows and try to get someone who wants to do a demo. I chose r...

well, you can't discount looking right... if you're recording jazz, maybe skip the slip on vans and the vintage sabbath tee, trim your beard, etc... presentation goes a long way in instilling confidence in clients, and to a certain extent you have to dress in a way that makes the clients feel comfo...

Every time I've gotten things shipped UPS it arrives either with damage to the packaging or a day later than it was supposed to arrive, whereas with FedEx, everything's arrived on time or early (with the sole exception of my Saxophone which was shipped during a regional blackout and their computers ...

The best way I've heard it put was that the KSM44 just doesn't quite have enough umpf. Comparing it to a 414 ULS, it sounds sterile. AT 4050s are a nice alternative too.

Oops. Did I pay twice? You had me marked down as paid yesterday when I first tried to send the money but my internet crapped out. Then today I sent it again. I hate it when that happens. What's worse is when the server has invalid credentials yet you know that you're at the right place (My universi...
