Engineers' Round Table

On this page we tried to get the engineers talking back & forth with each other. The content holds alot of good advice for the fresh & the veteran recording musician. Listen while they "chat it up".

 

Randy Burk--Stout Recording: Music is all about relationships. The people you know will become stepping stones in your career. It takes a long time to build a career in music. It also helps to stay in one region. I moved Stout Recording Studio across the bay from San Francisco to Oakland and it took several years to regain momentum. It takes vision, confidence and work ethic to make it
in music. So make some business cards, build a web site and get out there! For the music professional, reputation comes first. Focus on your strengths. Be on time, be prepared and keep it hot! You must generate demand for yourself.

John Jones--"Thumper" Custom Drums: I agree, Randy." Word of mouth" is big in this business. If you leave a bad taste in someone's mouth, it won't take long for everyone to know about it. You need to stay focused & willing to" keep it going".
