figuring out the price WILL be your hardest part. The last studio that i worked for once took on a audio book project that turned into a nightmare. Spanish language book with multiple additions. For some reason the sales rep bid the job out to low and in a very short time frame to complete. And we h...

The difference in that situation is whether the assistant made the effort or whether the artist made the decision on his own. It's a slippery road sometimes. Chris Garges Charlotte, NC but if one of my guy's would have gone behind the back of an outside engineer in order to get the gig. i would hav...

"Is everything cool with Chris? Because if it's not or if you guys aren't happy, we have some guys here who can help you out." If I was being charitable, there is another way to take this. Perhaps he was merely suggesting that if you (Chris) were having difficulty, due to being in an unfamiliar stu...

The difference in that situation is whether the assistant made the effort or whether the artist made the decision on his own. It's a slippery road sometimes. Chris Garges Charlotte, NC agreed.. I had a few assistant engineers take over a project from out side engineers all because the artist/client...

yes i can see the financial advantage to having it all in house, but as far as the studio should know, your the one paying the bill. But see, in reality, the band was paying for the session. Chris Garges Charlotte, NC Directly?, or through you since you booked the date? either way it's a gig they p...

I wonder... you are close friends with the band. Would this include "fighting like brothers" Any chance you might have called someone in the band poop head and he called you jerk face; you guys knew you were kidding but maybe the studio owner didn't know, hence the "everything ok?" Nope. Not in thi...

ahh, some of my favorites memories are from assistants that i use to supervise. like the one kid that was instructed to go pick up a keyboard from a rental house in NYC. when he arrived there and saw how large it was ( i think I sent him to pick up roland 88 weighted key ) he quit on the spot. even ...

No..

how many studios are around where you live? reason for me asking is that although there is a few places on line for someone to download a recall sheet for a certain piece of gear not many studio managers or head engineers want to spend the time doing it themselves. I know a guy that has a side busin...

IMO your never have a guarantee of credit on album liner notes unless you have it in writing. It's all up to the artist to decide who they want listed since in the end they are the one paying for the printing cost.

I sent her a link to your website so you might hear from her soon. Her name is Ellen O'Brien.

I will send you a pm with my email if you need to contact me.

Did you find someone yet? I know a very talented singer in that area that is giving lessons.

I did a little research, regarding gear I'd need to record drums versus what would need to be rented. The cost for buying the gear I'd need is about $300, whereas the cost for renting the gear, on top of the fee that I would need (as I work for free only for family and very, very close friends) wou...

i have run into a situation and am feeling pretty frustrated right now. i would love some outside input. i have a returning client who contacted me to do some recording - about a weeks worth. as it turns out - the artist is broke and it is his label is paying for the sessions. they (the label) have...

not sure if this place suits your needs, but it was the first place that came to mind to me.
