    My dude I didn't know that you are in the greater Atlanta Metro. So am I and I love your videos. Especially when you talk about working with the young folk as I am 48 years young. You are talking my language when you say things like tape and analog. I use to sing hooks on rap albums. That was my life in the 90's. Now I have went digital for the most part. Midi controller and DAW is my thing now. I still enjoy my 3 stand alone stations Yamaha MOX8, Casio WK 1630 and Akai MPK mini play. On the midi controller side M Audio 88 es, MPK 261, M Audio 49 es, MPK mini mark 2, and mark 3. What I consider drum machines on midi are push 1&2 and my MPC 218 and lastly the launch pad mini. You are an inspiration to the old heads around here. Keep doing what you're doing for there's a blessing for you in it all.

    I don’t want to sound like a hater, but a lot of these people doing music have NO business recording or dropping any kind of music. They are not good, they’re not trained and they don’t value raising the bar with originality and skill. When you had to actually save up money to get blocks in a studio, you took it seriously. You made sure you had your stuff on point and you went in there and made real music…because you wasn’t trying to waste time or money. That is not the case today and it’s hurt artistry. You can sit in a room and just create disposable music and not put in the effort that real artist used to do.
    It’s a gift and a curse forreal

    Got my first job in a studio back in the 70's and think even then tape was around $80-$100 a reel. Studio time in general was around $125 an hour. To put that in perspective a McDonalds hamburger was twenty cents then, so studio time was expensive. Plus studio back then didn't have music gear other than a grand piano. Studio I worked at that because world famous only had one small rack of outboard gear, it was the console and our mic's that it was all about. I left recording and got back into playing music and music education. Around 2005 I got back into recording got a job doing editing and basic CD mastering. That was my first experience with digital recording and I put together a small home studio. It was a long way from the 70's and amazed me at what I could do at home with a Pro Tools setup, but once again I got back in to playing music. Now I'm retired and decided get into recording again for my own enjoyment and scary looking back at the quality of gear I can get for little money. Quite a different world now and everyone recording with all the AI stuff. Sad part is so many think they don't have to study and practice and build up their skills, they thing AI will do it all for them. No, the best will always be the ones who put the time in to learn, practice and develop their skills.

      @@BoloDaProducer I, too, am an old-schooler. I owned a 400K studio in 1992. The hourly rate was 85 an hour with your own engineer and 110 with the engineer. Then the ax started to fall... ADAT... cheap boards ... the slide continued. In 2001, the hourly rate fell to 45 an hour with an engineer. No one wanted to buy the studio. The construction to build the studio was a total loss, and the resale of the equipment destroyed any hope of getting what I put into the studio. After I closed the operation, I received insight from an industry insider. They said how do you end up with a million dollars in the music industry? He said, Start with 2 million. So sad to all the talented people today who can't make ends meet.

    The money/payout for music has dramatically changed over the years as well. Going from physical media(CD), to downloading and then to streaming services, artists can’t make the same money for the same number of units anymore thus, less reason to pop in to big studios and run up the budgets.
    I came into music back during 2inch tape era and maintained a home studio from the days of Fostex 4trackers to the present DAW/Hybrid(analog front end) time. I see “big studios” forced to become creative to keep the cash flowing, I even invested in a few podcast mixers to catch some of that crowd. The game definitely changed from the old tape days to now.

    Really liked your History lesson. Made me think about the old days of Media Sound, Hit Factory, Skyline, House of Music, and Sigma Sound. A lot went into recording back then. Mixing , Panning, Mastering, Plate making, Studio time was by the hour, and Block time. I remember having to stop a session in the middle of a track, because Nona Hendricks had booked time, and we were on her time. That meant “You’re Done!” You mentioned $300 for time. Try $3,000 in the 70’s.

  • @Vybescube
    @Vybescube 2 дня назад +3

    Yes 🙌 sir !! You are right. Back in the days the 2inch in my neighborhood was $150.00 and the 1/4 inch for the mix down was $125. The rates were like $50 -$100 per hour. It was strictly analog 24 tracks

    I miss the feel of outboard gear but lets not forget that the outboard gear needed hella maintenance, Dat machines, Adat Machines...we had DA-78's and you hqd to keep em clean, if you did a lot of smoking in ya lab then that was an issue. With all that said, i can appreciate the digital age and the amount of money spent on equipment back then is not even a fraction of the cost now. My only conplaint is the subscription era but I get it, but the hassles of havin an ilok sucked too. Had to shut my studio down because I couldnt compete with $10 an Hr at the crib back then.

  • @dot.s9140
    @dot.s9140 3 дня назад +6

    Yeah it’s been a crazy transition but I will say musically the music has taken a big hit because of this. I’ve owned my own studio for a while but I learned from the big ones. Having a professional one in your house makes more sense in today’s world. If you’re trained right and know what you’re doing musically it’s a god send. But that hasn’t been the case for the last 5 years or so. So much inexperienced going on in the industry it baffles me how a lot of these products make it to the market. But I have a feeling why they do. They’ve been trying to destroy the number one art form on earth which is hip hop for a while it’s used in any and everything nowadays. Go listen to albums that stayed in one house until completion to albums that get recorded in various locations and mixed in various locations and mastered in various locations what you get is a whole bunch of competitors on one project fighting for future business. Making the album experience for the consumers very unpleasant. I hear it and you hear it all the time from people that album was all over the place. And this is why to many people on one project trying to make a name for themselves. You can’t blame that on studio revolutions that we have today. It’s how albums are being made is the problem. 20 to 40 producers on one project is diabolical up to 80 song writers on a project. The artist are not the artist anymore they’re just a walking billboard. Home studios great. The way they’re being utilized not so great. Big studios used to have a team of the same people to pump out there sound they’ve created that’s why they were big back in the days. They’ve gotten away from that now by trying to keep up with the trends and they all fall by trying to do it this way. So artists with budgets go the cheaper way if it’s all going to sound the same anyways. Being apart of this industry for a while this is why big house recording studios keep closing. They’ve gotten away from investing in talented people to put on their team and create a sound culture that people are willing to pay for.

    I visited atl in 2005. I went to the underground and i saw a recording booth in there. I don't remember the price but it was by the hour and not as expensive as nyc studios. You could do a couple songs and they press you a cd.

  • @MadACeTeeMack
    @MadACeTeeMack 3 дня назад +4

    Studios are closing due to budgets but thats only regarding hip hop/Rap/R&b. Recording studios for Rock/Country etc are still in business for the most part. Most engineers have their own studios as well when back in the day they were hired to engineer in major studios. In addition, some of us got the money to buy professional gear and build our own professional studios. But, to get your sound sonically competitive, you will need high end professional gear and a professional engineer with a good ear and a high end monitoring system. Plus, dont let me get started with Atmos surround, film sound tracks and scoring. A dusty laptop and cheap interface won't cut it.

    @tcibeatrecords4707 День назад +2

    The real truth behind recording studios closing are the plugin industries. Back in the day you had no plugins so everything had to be manually done with Tape. Digital Plugins came along and made life much easier and all you needed was a laptop. You pretty much have a plugin which replicates any audio device and people started buying Plugins. The music industry has changed and AI is now taking over.

  • @michaels8597
    @michaels8597 11 часов назад +1

    Bolo, NOoooooooooooooooooooooo...They are closing because we no longer NEED them. It started around the Portastudio era and then again when Mackie came out with a real inexpensive mixer, and the second wave of samplers. When DAWS came out strong, now we could go headlong into directly recording at high resolution, and my first DAW was Voyetra. Whole LPS were made on Amiga, Atari, PCs,and the early versions of MAC. Instead of using my reel I can use my SVHS recorders, so I have tons of masters, and then I got an analog synth for $250. Between the 2 inch tape and the machine, I have at least 10-20 pieces of gear for the same amount of money. To add to that, They had to pay for the engineer to set up the machines, tweak the studio ,record/mix, and then maybe you got what you wanted.Now If I want to record an orchestra, then I would use a commercial studio, yet for anything else, it's not cost effective..

But enough to say that years down the line 'everyone is a producer' sort of is the curse, because most people are not good at engineering or producing. The tools are just the tools. But you can't give a carpentry set to a kid and expect a finely crafted table. No. I rest my case. There was a reason why bands spent thousands in a studio.... quality results.

      It could be consumer interest, the news, also depression. Music is a therapy and people lock up with artist or party… it could be because depression in the world has caused people to lose interest or not seek visions or goals… it’s a broad subject… the seventies eighties built longer lasting tracks… now a days I dont know what the problem is but I think health plays a role… also things rise and fall… I hope we can rejuvenate and restore musical interest and excitement… main thing is vision for a product that communicates in a way that people identify with it and it’s sometimes subtle sometimes fun sometimes invokes wisdom… i think there’s something supernatural to the music making process to be honest… just like babe Ruth when he hit that homer he pointed out… it’s something timely special and has power…

    Studios today aren't that successful because many of them are opening thinking about money only and not the clients. A producer and engineer is what makes the clients come and stay!!!! Bigger studios are still around when and if they are used for certain gear and room sound but yes now we can record anywhere and then send it to people to mix so that's good!!!

    Anybody know about the H2O, AIR, Paradox, and Audiowarez crack groups? lol Collecting cracked plugins was an addiction in itself in the late 90's into the 2000's.

    Another topic for you Bolo: The big studios and labels are working on consolidate the music industry. Check out the Top Music Attorney's channel on RUclips, for the latest information- We all know there is a "legal side" to the music business and industry.

    Property rates are up along with rent. That alone will hurt studios.

    First off they charge too much money. And studios don't never help the artist especially new artist. And taking all your money. I charge for recording.

      Well… the studio is just the facility, they are there to simply they have space we’re creators can create. It’s on the artist to facilitate the talent around them.

      It’s not the studios responsibility to do anything for the artist outside of studio time. There are studios around that offer services to help artists but it’s not common.

    were closing or still closing? Initially I feel like the internet and piracy had an affect too, at least with major studios as well as technology making studio obsolete, especially if you knew what you were doing. Back in the day you could get cd or cassettes made and sell them out of your car and make some money back if you were an independent artist trying t make something happen, thats dead now...nobody hardly even owns a cd player or cassette player, everything is streaming and we know you need a gazillion streams just to make 10 dollars lol, but technology put studios in the hands of a lot of people, and if youre recording yourself now and remember the days when you have to rent studio time you know how much better it feels not to have to watch the clock in the studio, one could also argue that being on the clock made you much more focused on getting things done versus starting a ton of ideas and " getting back to them". And lets be honest, back in the day most people renting studio time knew you had to possibly come back and mix your song later and pay for that time, now artist usually want a mix as soon as the session is done..they want it all done and would be ok with a 15 to 20 minute mix versus taking your time and really mixing it like back in the day. A lot of the real artistry is gone too, " throw on the autotune and record me in one or two takes", at the end of the day...people are just not trying to spend money in the studio.....or pay for music. or plugins....or movies....or for anything if possible lol

    Streaming killed off music as a way to make a living for quite a lot of musicians. When there is no money there is no way to afford recording in a studio.

    They are closing because there is not enough money in it anymore. The money is in music equipment hardware and software sales now. So close your studios and open a music store. 😂

    No money in music anymore, due to Apple Music, spofity etc. As a label, you'd probably make more money selling a dozen casette tapes
