Hello, I am currently looking to buy some more gear and I am on a budget of $500. At the current moment I am happy with my mic collection but am looking for a good mic pre or any type of outboard gear. I know $500 can't get me very far but was wondering if anyone had any advice that could get me th...

Anyway, it was a lot like what I imagine being an intern at a recording studio is like, but with better pay. Unfortunately, most recording internships don't paying anything! You'll work 12+ hour days for free and you'll be lucky if you ever see a mixing board. There is one place I was interning at ...

Jim Reeves like Reeves Recording? I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the tip!

Hey everyone, My name is Art Garceau and I have a home studio in the suburbs of Chicago. It's nothing fancy, but I keep building it up as the days go on, and I'm taking as many clients as I can. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can get my foot in the door at a commercial studio? I love working ...
