Recording Industry Tips & Information Exchange

In a network of industries that have become increasingly open for participation and at a time when the iPod toting world is looking for entertainment to fill every minute of their day, what sets your production apart?  It’s not just the creative, it’s also the technical, and there are many who have spent years learning in their fields, working out how to (and how not to) do it.  Here is where we can share the experience, foster and hopefully give a leg up to all who endeavor to create wonderful art in picture and sound.

So, this page is dedicated to you -- industry professionals or those climbing the ladder to success (or further success) in your professional and creative work--be it as a professional musician, recording artist, studio engineer, mixer, producer, video editor or any other field related to recording, mixing, music creation and video production.  This is a collection of experience, knowledge, craft and stories in which we hope you may find tips and tricks (or mistakes to avoid) that you might use to further your own projects.

Here you will see letters and notes from our staffs and fellow professional musicians, recording artists, engineers, sound designers and industry professionals on how they record, design, produce and mix their projects all shared in hopes that you can better produce your own – whether in your bedroom recording studio, a professional studio environment or the largest of post-production houses.

But we also want to hear from you!  In the interest of generating a comprehensive collection of experiences of all types, please send in your experiences and share them with the rest of us.  Or, on the flipside, send in your questions and we’ll get the best people onto it. 

The way we see it, we can only benefit by helping to keep an industry we love alive and growing and also by ensuring that a wealth of technology that is rattling around in some brilliant heads isn’t forgotten in the wave of new “technology” (which might be accompanied by manuals which tell you how to plug something in, but which don’t really tell you how to use it). 

So, here’s to all the brilliant and creative people who will continue to tell stories through song and image.  May your stories all come out as brilliantly as you have conceived them.
