To Build A Studio?

Has anyone else read the newest recording tip?

this has got to be the most disappointing things I've read since I started getting into recording thing a couple years ago. I mean, I know this is targeted more towards the full-fledged studio with tons of expensive analog equipment, and I'm just some poor unemployed artist in redneckville who wants to express himself and entertain some friends, but am I really getting myself into a never-waking pipe dream?
I've been entirely aware since I bought my first guitar 6 years ago that this music thing could easily be an enormous money-gobbling monster of addictive proportions, and I've heeded my gut feelings. But all along as I've amassed quite a little collection of instruments, stompboxes, software and gadgets, I always feel good about doing something I want to do. I know I'll never be a rock star, but I've seriously concidered going to school to be a sound engineer. Maybe even have my own studio some day, keeping a close eye on the local music scene, whetever that may be 20 years from now, and promoting the bands and recording their demos and hopefully making a living doing what I enjoy.
So is what this guy's saying forreaL? In the end I'm a musician, I can't help that, it's just something that's in me. So long as I have two hands and a heart I'll be strumming. I was just wondering what was everyone else's opinion on the subject. ;O) -j

Oct 19, 2002 05:15 am I read it and found it quite good, targetted a little higher than us, yes, but there is still good information in there. In my opinion, even if you are one of us, the poor schleps of the masses, you still need to know how the big boys do it, the trick for us is to figure out a way to emulate what they are doing (as closely as possible) for less money.
Oct 19, 2002 05:33 am sorry, i don't mean instill any negativity, its just that the article seems to imply that there's no financial future for me in music. no actually, i think i can accept any future. i just want to be a happy schlep. he he, "schleps" -j
