    A lot of studios in my town are the “if you build it they will come” concept and they’re mostly failing in the community. I worked at two that fell into the trap of “well let’s also be a record label”. Why? It’s dead quiet in the studio and you’re not bringing in profit. I’m sure there’s plenty more examples of this out there because they all seem to have the same perspective: I read this x, so I know how y works. Ok? Is that why you caved and hired a professional? Multiple engineers? At what point do they step back and realize that the hardest part of the music business is the musicians? You really need to know our people if you want to survive. Know what makes an artist walk away happy. In 3 months I made more money out of my house than I did in 6 months at those facilities. And they were beautiful locations with good gear, I have to give it up to these people they put the money into good equipment. However sometimes it was impulse buys that weren’t useful and often times wasted money. That’s another thing, if they don’t know what kind of equipment is worth the money and guide themselves using sales reps....yeeeesh....
    Anyway, I’m happier now, and my clients walk away happy and sometimes with a belly full of chicken tikka masala if I was cooking before the session 😂

    Love the concept of the podcast, took away some useful knowledge. A future subject could be about tips on how to get customers as a studio or freelancer if you are just starting out.
    For the naming, just call it "SonicScoop Podcast", I mean it does describe it very well.

    Dang i left a super long comment on your other video about value based pricing and you mentioned it here in your first video in the series!
    I think sadly because most blue collar/entry level jobs are hourly based, people have been brainwashed into thinking time=money. That is not the case. Hours and minutes represent time, money represents value!

    I don’t have a full room of sound attenuation and fancy shit. I have a computer, interface, microphones, 2 4x12 cabinets, amp head and professional DAW. I’m just looking to work with local artists. I was thinking $15 an hour and be affordable and make a few bucks on the weekends.
