THE WORLD IS EVOLVING...
THE MUSIC INDUSTRY HAS SHIFTED DRAMATICALLY OVER THE LAST DECADE, NO LONGER ARE BANDS AND ARTISTS AT THE MERCY OF THE MAJOR LABELS..NOW, INDEPENDENCE IS THE NAME OF THE GAME. WE'VE LIVED THROUGH ALL OF THE UPHEAVALS AND ONE THING IS CLEAR, MUSICIANS CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINY NOW MORE THAN EVER! WITH THAT IN MIND THE BURN ROOM OFFERS ARTIST SUPPORT AS PART OF OUR SERVICE LIST TO HELP YOU AFTER YOUR MUSIC IS RECORDED. MUSIC VIDEOS, APPS, WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT, LICENSING AND PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES, DIGITAL MEDIA SUPPORT, AND ALL AROUND GOOD ADVICE CAN BE HAD HERE. NOW BEFORE YOU THINK 'JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF NONE' KEEP IN MIND MAKING MUSIC IS OUR THING, FOR THE OTHER STUFF WE JUST HAPPEN TO KNOW A LOT OF TALENTED PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP YOU IN THOSE AREAS! :)
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
SO, WHY RECORD IN A COMMERCIAL FACILITY VS. MY OWN HOME STUDIO? AHHH, GREAT QUESTION! THE ANSWER CERTAINLY ISN'T BETTER SOUNDING GEAR, BECAUSE MOST CONSUMER GEAR SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD NOWADAYS. THE ANSWER IS THREE FOLD..1. FREEDOM! WHEN YOU WEAR A LOT OF HATS (PRODUCER, ENGINEER, MIXER, MUSICIAN) IT'S EASY TO LOSE FOCUS ON THE MAIN OBJECTIVE, GIVING A GREAT PERFORMANCE. HERE YOU ARE FREE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT ONE ASPECT WHILE WE WORRY ABOUT THE OTHER STUFF. 2. OBJECTIVE EARS! WHILE THERE ARE EXCETPTIONS TO THE RULE (PRINCE AND STING COME TO MIND) IT'S HARD FOR BANDS AND ARTISTS TO TRULY BE OBJECTIVE WHEN RECORDING/ARRANGING/PRODUCING THEIR OWN MUSIC. HAVING A SEASONED MUSIC PRODUCER TO WORK WITH CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD RECORD AND A GREAT ONE. 3. ACOUSTICS! UNLESS YOUR HOME STUDIO WAS DESIGNED FOR RECORDING IT'S REALLY HARD TO COMPENSATE FOR AN INADEQUATE SOUNDING ROOM (BOTH CONTROL AND LIVE). THE SOUND OF THE ROOM(S) WILL EFFECT EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR RECORDING, FROM TRACKING TO MIXING...WE HAVE ACOUSTICALLY DESIGNED AND TREATED ROOMS..LONG STORY SHORT, THEY SOUND GREAT!
