Keeping Your Recording Studio Relevant (Without Bands)
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- Many recording studio owners, engineers, mastering guys and music producers complain that their businesses are slow, with fewer bands and artists booking significant studio time. Many studios opt to lower their rates or buy expensive new gear. Others are launching marketing campaigns to try to get business turned around. The real problem is that there are very few opportunities these days for musicians and artists to earn enough money to justify booking expensive recording time.
Now is a great time to make some changes to your business plan and start incorporating new ideas and approaches to improve the bottom line of your studio. There are many creative ways to offer your production services to clients and companies that are not band related.

after making full time living of 35yrs in the music industry and 27yrs of those doing full time music production i took my first non music related job a few months back and i'm glad i did. The music/recording industry has become a race to the bottom. I now treat myself to making my own music with ppl i enjoy.
Right on! That's why we all got in to it in the first place. I had so much fun in my first basement studio. Do you still make yourself available if you get a call to record?
Depends who it is. If it was a good client, as in a good hang and pays without chasing money then i will. I no longer have to say yes to everyone anymore even though the calls are far less. This new economy we live in have ppl choosing between eating and art...and art is not winning. @@HiPunch
Depends who it is, If its a client who's a good hang and pays without me having to chase my money then i do. Otherwise i'm good with saying "no" these days. @@HiPunch
Thanks dad
You're welcome, son. Now go clean your room.
Huh. I thought you were going to provide suggestions...
You're right. I should go into more suggestions and detail about possible alternative income streams that I am pursuing with my studio. This is just a quick video to get things started. Mahalo for your input.
Well that wasn't bleak at all.
Yes, a bit bleak indeed. I tried to keep it short. Hoping to help engineers find a more lucrative path for their studios. Mahalo for watching.
30 seconds in it’s clear this dude is delusional. It’s not that bands aren’t recording in studios because they don’t give a fuck. It’s because it’s cheaper to just buy your own studio gear at this point in history than it is to pay for studio time. With similar or better results.
You're right. That is the other side of it. Many bands are spending their money on home recording gear in hopes of producing the next big hit. Now that's delusional. To be clear, It's the public that doesn't GAF, not the artists. Thanks for your input.
Uhhh. did you have a point to make? Because I missed it.
Yes. Not to focus exclusively on booking bands. They usually don't have much money. Thanks for watching.
For developing your self practice play with others wherever
Yes, for sure. Enjoy making music and playing with others. I've been at it all night long. Mahalo!
I've owned a Pro Studio for 14 years now and let me tell you....he ain't entirely wrong.
I started too late in this industry (at a pro level) but I've discovered that the only true music business you can still hold on to is the "wanna be" market.
The only reason musicians buy their instruments, amps, FX pedals, etc is because they wanna be like some other famous musician out there so THAT'S your market if you want to put food on the table for you and your family.
If you have a home studio at your parent's house and do this for free or pennies don't bother.
So, as I was sayin'g THAT IS YOUR MARKET, so go and get them and make sure they're all under 20, 'cause those are the ones who really WANNA BE still. Their dreams are fresh new. In time you come to realize that not everything is sunshines and rainbows and that recording music is almost pointless nowadays.
Also, you better make sure your clients LOOK AND SOUND COOL enough to attract more customers who WANNA BE like them too.
And last but not least: Be sharp and stay tunned to NEW SCENES, don't reject them. Don't be a boomer. Even if you don't like it or even hate it, don't worry and just go along with it. You can give free studio hours to the coolest new band in town and wait for their friends to BITE.
Now go catch some fish for time's running out fast. We are one step away from downloading an AI that can map your profile as a musician and consumer (which is what we all are at the end of the day) and just ask or command it to "make" music for you following a series of prompts. You won't even have to explain anyone if it is you playin' or singing. It's been a long time since that gave a f_ck to any one.
A lot of good info you bring up here. Unfortunately, the young and eager bands usually have the least amount of money to spend on production. At least as long term clients. The more mature artists usually get into home production themselves so that leaves...? A very small pool of musicians to build a business off of, right?
