That sounds like a marketing problem!!drumsound wrote:Its a lack of public interest in music of quality that makes me question my role as cog in this particular machine.
Full time pro studios have thinned out, amateur recordists abound... I assume that is where the perceived lack of interest is?
People like me _think_ they can do it all at home, but we really can't... the pro recording industry was and still is highly specialized for darn good reasons. There are not enough days in my life that I can take my one hour of creative time a night and at most 12 on weekends to practice parts, record them, mix them, master 'em and market 'em.
So, how to break the spell amongst the glut of people who want to record at home but don't do it right? Maybe a marketing campaign built around radical truth?
"You won't even begin to make your money back, but you will have recorded a hell of a great record if you spend $5K with me."
And meanwhile, get into education. I paid for pros for my one record and the learning was invaluable, now I'm going back into the basement to see what I can do alone with that knowledge whilst I nurse my red ink.
