That room looks like fun.

Our record label, Arclight Records will have two non-event showcases. One will be Wednesday at Room 710 and the other will be Friday at Headhunters. Things are subject to change...and when we get all the details will post it here.

Hey man...good to see some more Texas folks on here. I sincerely hope you have a successful studio down in San Antonio...I hear most the studios down there are not that great or are out of touch with what the bands want. I also hope things arent as bad as they are up here in Austin...things seem to ...

We also just added an Otari 1" 16 track as well as a few other goodies. We are looking for a new building as well. But if you need to record now...give us a call or an e-mail.

Hahaha, man that is so f*cked up. Although, the population of SoCal is pretty damn big!

However, how in the hell do all those stay open? I mean, I am sure rent or property isnt cheap!

That is just completely insane! A few days ago there was an ad on craigslist from a guy in San Diego saying that he has a bunch of equipment and wanted to move to Austin and partner up with someone that already has a studio but needs more gear. He mentioned in the ad that things were really bad in S...

I have been in Austin off and on for 10 years. The first thing that screwed this twon up was the technology boom. That went bust, but the prices stayed high on everything. A 2/1 in central Austin will runn you $215,000 and be about 900 sq. ft. South Austin and East Austin are still cheaper, but are ...

I have checked the east side a lot. Prices are going up because of all the gentrification. I am not sure if people know of places and dont wanna say because Austin is a RIDICULOUSLY over saturated market and see it as a chance to pick up business or...if they just dont know, because Austin is not bi...

Haha, that is insane! However, I would argue that since Burbank is little more than a suburb of LA, you would have to consider the surrouding population. Comparing it to Houston would be much more accurate since Houston is like LA in its HUGE urban sprawl. But even then, you win haha...

yeah, there is a big turnover here in Austin for studios. Even larger more established ones have been closing their doors. I just cant believe that Austin has more studios than say Dallas! I guess everyone buys into that Austin is a big music city shit.

Alright, this isnt very scientific...but I found it amusing. I went to Yahoo and looked up in the yellow pages section for my city, Austin "recording Studio" and got 80 hits! there are roughly 600,000 people in Austin. Then just to see what other cities in Texas were like I checked out: Houston: 131...

Alright, I listed a similar post awhile back in another section, but I figured I would get a little more response here. Feel free to e-mail me off board at david@republicstudios.com. I own and operate Republic Studios here in Austin with Mauro from Speedloader. We HAVE to find a new location for the...

Pro-Tape, one of the best retail shops to buy tape in Texas is almost completely out of tape. Supposedly their Houston store is completely sold out. The store in Austin sold about 30 reels just today!!! This is a fuck. We just got a 1" machine for the studio. I have a 2" reel that was used for one p...

Please feel free to critique or comment! I engineered, mixed and co-produced both albums. Check it out yall...here are two songs from Hognose and SuperHeavyGoatAss that will be on their respective albums "El Sombrero" and "60,000 Years." These are the mp3 version of what will be on the album...mixed...

Hey Joel...thanks for the details on your session. Your drum mic choices and set up are interesting for sure! A lot different than mine, I will do some experimenting. Well, I guess what I meant about the monitoring situation was more two part...monitors that you know very well, but also a room that ...
