New Packages for Solo, Duet and Open Mic Artists |
|
 Not everyone has a giant band with giant sound and a giant stage to play on, and not everyone finds it economically efficient to drop a couple hundred hard-earned dollars to have a live recording made of your upcoming coffee shop show or next open mic appearance.
Well, I've got good news for all you lone rebels! I'm pleased to announce two new packages with the solo, duo and open miker in mind. The first package, "Café Latte Recording," is especially just for solo and duo acts who get the job done with limited instrumentation. For $25, get a live recording of your show (5 channels, up to three hours) an instant mix when you're finished and all the individual tracks burned to DVD to mix at home to your heart's content. And for those emerging artists who take the plunge 5- or 10-minutes at a time at one of our many open mic venues (you know who you are), I present you with the "Open Mic Recording" package. For $10, you can record your set (3 channels up to 15-minutes) and get an instant mix for your friends, family or for practice until the next time you take on the stage. Sound like a good deal? Free free to contact me before your next show, or check out our Pricing page to learn more about these and other packages. |

Off the Shelf: S.M.A.R.T. Guides |
 I'm on my second of Bill Gibson's S.M.A.R.T. guides and I find that, as the more I read through them, the more I appreciate how the information is organized: straightforward, logical and digestible (without being watered-down). The first guide I picked up, "Mixing and Mastering," helped clarify my own approach to mixing and defined a lot of unknown elements I hadn't considered before. The same is ringing true with the newest book I purchased, "Mixers, Signal Processors, Microphones, and More." So far, it's reinforced a lot of what I already knew about the subject matter and expanded my knowledge without a lot of interfering fluff to filter out. |
