That is exactly what I did... I called a friend and he is going to help me finish the room... I am going to buy the materials and I am going to pay him for his time and expertise... Thanks guys...

I am trying to finish this room... I just have two more walls to build. I have an air condition right behind one of the walls... and a quest bedroom over the room... I am going to use insulation, but I am wondering if I can use paneling instead of drywall. I suck a mudding finishing drywall. Don't r...

Sorry I haven't responded in a while... What I have experience, every single time... When I am recording a female artist; they will bring their boyfriends, or husbands.. which is cool I guess. But when they come, the guys want to compliment on the equipment and or stare at me the ENTIRE time making ...

Yeah I know about them... I have know about them for years.. just never did anything with them...

Yall are funny... Who do I send the songs too?

Noeq: I didn't know if you were implying that I thought MJ was a great producer. I said the he wouldn't have been anything without the team around. At least that is what I thought I wrote. You may have been just stating some more examples of MJ not being a producer... Yes I realize that he had a gre...

Oh yeah he definately had other stuff on the tracks... CLA LA2A, 3A compressors, all of his tracks had hella stuff on them, but then again he was mixing live drums... On the vocal tracks I can't remember what chain he had, but we didn't really get that far... He was just showing some ins and outs of...

No no no LOL... I was saying that before tuesday, I wasn't able to compare pre-amp to pre-amp... But this weekend I was able to see it in action. Which helped me understand more why it is a huge difference.... Before people would just say get a better pre-amp, but I hadn't experienced what a better ...

I am totally on the same boat you guys are on... I only asked those question because: I have had people that call themselves songwriters and ask for my help and they send my a document that looks like a letter of their life. It has no structure at all. That is just one example. Or you meet a person ...

DSW: I am definatly feeling what you are saying... I look up to those guys because there style is jazz. It is universal cause you can hear all of the chord changes. I like Mcknight because he is the only piano player that can sing and play equally great... Not say there aren't other guys that do it....

When is it valid to label yourself as a producer?
When is it valid to label yourself as a songwriter?
When is it valid to lable yourself as a studio?

Went to a friends studio today... And oh my... he had a logic set up... and he has a great, great, great sound... He said that everyone in Nashville is stressing pre-amps: Start with the singer, if the singer is bad, get a new singer, then pre-amp, then the converters... A great pre-amp can compensa...

in addition, I started playing out about 7 years ago. My first show was in a place called reality tuesdays in Cincy. When I walked in there were about 10 people in the cafe'. As I was setting up you could hear all the mummering and people walking out the door... I don't mean for this to sound tastle...
