'Even stranger to me is recording schools opening new facilities left and right while the studios that are going to give their suckers, er, students jobs when they graduate are shutting down just as fast.'

fun until it pays the bills better...then it will be fun anyway... other hobbies - hanging with the red-headed millenium stepchildren, running (4:20 marathon...busting the 4 hour mark this spring), thinking i'm ali in my garage, drinking, reading, bitching about local music happenings, watching my h...

'On the flip side I get a lot of punk rockers who will record with me because I am an analogue recordist (or because I don't use PT.)' when i did only analog 8 track this was one of the main 'selling' points. but the results they liked had little to do with the medium...more to do with folks playing...

been on both sides of the fence. the both have their ups and downs. i like working and not having to worry about where my rent is coming from...i mean creative ways to eat? no thanks... also - when recording becomes 100% it can become a chore. you are working for whoever whenever however so you can ...
