Nice advice, I guess I should test the waters before jumping in something that I might not enjoy swimming in. Im glad you're doing something you love, it's a big dream of mine for sure.
There's a couple of small studios in the area and there's also an abundance of small/local bands.
A sobering thought regarding the stress of it all if things start to unravel somewhat. I did cut my teeth on Pro Tools during my university days, didn't realise that the industry standard thing was still in place. Thanks.
I think after reading this, I may just forget about the idea. When it comes to separating yourself from the rest it takes something special I guess.
A lot to think about, but after reading through all the replies and thinking about it....it's probably a bad idea.
So I guess i'll just buy myself a new synth and crack on.
Thanks everyone, appreciate the input and information.
Keep listening to the 6 Figure Creative podcasts - the beginning episodes at least. Goes through a little of talking about how to hone in on what pays bills and also work out what takes the time vs bringing the money.
For example, one of the hosts was finding recording bands took 80% of his time but was only pulling 20% of the money .. I *think* his other side was mixing mastering. Plus he found working with bands/musicians not his forte, finding his social skills not up to it in terms of getting the best out of them (in fact the opposite).
There are other options .. besides recording bands with no money!
