NYC-Looking for a Studio Partner or Engineer
Mercy Sound is a great new recording studio with a large live room in the East Village of Manhattan. I record and mix people here and also write music. I'm looking to keep my studio active during the vast majority of hours that I am not working, primarily nights and weekends. I am open to having a studio partner who gets a straight percentage of the time every month or taking on another engineer/mixer who wants to work the studio with me, handling many more clients, splitting the income in some fashion. I am open to any possibility.
Here is the studio website to learn more:

Please call Scott at 212-353-0076 if interested

Re: NYC-Looking for a Studio Partner or Engineer
How about a 18 year old college student? I'll drop out if I get the big bucks.
I'll treat this as a free bump....

If it weren't for the bringing in lots of new clients part I'd definately consider this offer. I don't know or know of anyone who'd be capable of such a feat in NYC right now.

Re: NYC-Looking for a Studio Partner or Engineer
I wish I had the 18 year old's balls! If he starts at that age & keeps going for studio jobs he's underqualified for, he's going to be a Grammy winning engineer by the time he's 25!

I was joking... could your avatar be any more unnecessarily large?hearnoevil wrote:I wish I had the 18 year old's balls! If he starts at that age & keeps going for studio jobs he's underqualified for, he's going to be a Grammy winning engineer by the time he's 25!

Re: NYC-Looking for a Studio Partner or Engineer
Well, I WASN'T joking. In the past I've gone for jobs that I TOTALLY wasn't qualified for, actually got the position and it gave me a leg up as far as experience and pay. Now that I've gone to school and trained to do something, I tend to apply for jobs that are pretty much at my skill level. Maybe I should take my own advice- I might find a studio that's a hell of a lot cooler to work at than mine!
As far as the avatar, I typed in the wrong URL when I put it up this morning & didn't check it afterwards. It's a good thing 18 year old engineering students have so much time on their hands- I wouldn't have caught that until I was finished with all the actual *WORK* I have to do today. Good lookin' out, kid.

Re: NYC-Looking for a Studio Partner or Engineer
You have a bit of a tone as well, my dear. We'll see if that changes after the first time the guy you're interning for puts a boot up your ass for your little "'tude"
Oh, and I'm not an old man. I'm actually in my mid-20's. And female.
It's ok, darlin'. I thought I knew everything when I was 18, too.

Re: NYC-Looking for a Studio Partner or Engineer
Your condesending usage of my age hurts me deep. You seem a bit too confident in your own skills to be talking about what will happen to me. I wish I had your vast knowledge on how the world works, because apparently i'm completely oblivious as to how the world works, since once again because of my age.hearnoevil wrote:You have a bit of a tone as well, my dear.

Re: NYC-Looking for a Studio Partner or Engineer
Aw. You poor little weenie. This has nothing to do with your age or my confidence or skills. I posted my original response because I was genuinely impressed by a young engineering student who had the nads to go for a great job offer regardless of his experience. I wish I had the nerve to do that now, let alone when I was still in school. I'm thinking that I must have read into that too much. Like I said- this has nothing to do with age. It has to do with attitude. I'm VERY aware that I have a long way to go and a lot of things to still learn. You, on the other hand, still have to learn a few things before you can even keep yourself from getting fired (or hired in the first place) from a non-paying job at a studio where you make coffee and scrub toilets on a good day- mainly that you don't know everything (nor do I, for that matter), and if you act like you DO know everything, someone with a million times more experience than both of us put together is going to make DAMN sure you know where you stand.
C'mon now, sweetie. Talking shit to random people on a message board? Not a great way to get people to think of you as anything but a teenage boy.

Re: NYC-Looking for a Studio Partner or Engineer
All I said in a joking manner that I would drop my college education at the chance of making a lot of money. I never said I had the experience or capability of becoming a partner of a studio. I think i'd be able to handle an non paying internship, but that's just me. Suprisingly I actually have a pretty good attitude, and will do my work as I am asked. I have a measly job at my schools management department and I am the computer bitch. This is completely unrelated, but i'm just saying...i'm not as incapable as I may appear to be on the internet. I sometimes contemplate leaving school given the opportunity to get a serious chance at getting my foot in the door towards a recording career, but with so many recording studios not in demand, I think it's smarter to gain more technical knowledge before I do such a thing. I definitely have a lot to learn, hell i've only been recording my stuff for fun for two years.hearnoevil wrote:Aw. You poor little weenie.

Re: NYC-Looking for a Studio Partner or Engineer
(sigh)
If you actually read what I wrote, you'll notice that I never said ANYTHING about your abilities. My original post was not at all negative. I don't know you. For all I know you could be a recording prodigy. I'm sure you could handle an internship or even an entry level position at a studio- I heard some of the music you posted & it's not badly recorded at all- especially for someone who (I'm assuming) is self-taught. I never said you were incapable. It's just a little annoying to get an e-mail saying someone replied to a post I made a month ago, just to find out it's a mildly snotty reply to a posting that was originally a positive comment. If you get the chance to drop out of school for a high paying (or even OK paying) studio gig, do it! You're better off learning the business as a runner than in school anyway- it's a hell of a lot cheeper!
Seriously- no malice intended. More power to ya.

Well, shit. That's what emoticons are supposed to be for, but I guess my didn't convey my intent. Truly sorry for the misunderstanding- it didn't occur to me that it could be taken the wrong way!
Please accept this one-eyed green smiley as a peace offering. May he look upon you with good fortune.
