Yes, this is ANOTHER "how-do-I-get-started" engineering thread...but a bit different.
I'm having NO problem at all getting my name out there, people know about me through friends and I've already had many people ask me to record them. Just the other day I was asked to record a 5-song demo, and a month ago I was even asked by the local Fox TV affiliate to record a jingle for a commercial.
My problem lies with money, equipment, and space. Right now when I do work I have to go "freelance" to some guys project barn/studio to cut tracks...and I really don't like doing that for many different reasons. I live right in the middle of nowhere, there are literally no studios that do decent work within 500 miles...but there are millions of bands. I'm probably going to hook up with a local up-start indie label, and I know that I could be their go-to studio if I just got my shit in gear.
I know many of you have your own studios with pretty decent equipment. Where in the hell did you guys get all your money? Bank loans, personal cash? Where did you guys get your space? Own the place? Rent it?
Any tips?
