This should have happened a year ago

It's like 10 minutes after you have an argument and then all of the sudden you think of a million great comebacks and points that would have annihilated the other person. The good ideas always seem to come late.

Anyway, if I had thought of this last year then I would be telling you about this great idea of having a studio that caters to artists with not much money but a lot passion and good music. And how we just finished remodeling a shed in my back yard to have an isolation and control room (honestly, I am actually really surprised at how quiet it is). Also that I don't really know if this whole thing is going to work but it seemed like fun to try.

The first year was good. I recorded 3 bands & 3 solo acts. I would have loved to have documented that process. There was a lot of learning going on in that but the artists were really great to work with. I'll post some final mixes as the come in... most of them are still in post production.

I am however still working on recording 2 of those 6. Hannah Brown writes some great music and has a really cool voice. I really wanted the chance to record her because I knew it was going to be solid music. She is coming in this weekend to try and finish up vocals. We've got a few more aux. instruments to put down but we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait for everyone to hear her stuff, it's sounding really good.

Hopefully I'll get some pics and start documenting these sessions a little better now that I thought about doing this blog. As we finish up these artists I'll provide links to their music so you can hear what we've been up to this past year. As far as what's on the horizon... just trying to finish up these projects. We get inquiring calls a lot but never know who will pan out and who will not which makes me glad I don't do this for a living... I'm stressed out enough. Also, I'm pretty sure our band will be using the studio this spring for our new project. That will be cool.
