So these guys loved to talk about what they do...which I guess is pretty cool cause it shows that they really love what they are doing. I hope I get (am) like that ;)
They mentioned how neither of them really knew how to use protools or how to mix their recordings and whatnot, BUT they learned. It took some trial and error, but they've gotten pretty good at it. I would really like to learn how to use protools and how to mix better, but I feel like I won't be able to learn a lot, but it just takes time and effort. Eventually, you will get better...you just have to do.
Another thing that was sweet for me to hear is that they are always looking for studio/session singers/players. YAY for me!! I acutally already know someone in their industry whom I've worked with before (not on a money makin deal yet, but hopefulyl soon) so I knew a little about what they were talking about, but hearing that they'll pretty much just take anyone that comes in with a resume and CD (and is good) that they'll consider using them on a project. Thats awesome. I know I would never want to try to make a living off this because it's not a very stable industry, but its definitely something that I would love to do for a little extra money. Especially if they let me get a little creative with the melody or what they want me to sing. thats sweet. thats any singers/writers dream :) Very cool stuff.
I will probably license my music with them...once I have something to give them :) they have some sweet names that they represent. very sweet.
ok. I'm off!

4.21.09 - $$$
$$$
Damon Schuler came into class a few weeks ago to talk about musician's money/tax information. A lot of the things he said were completely over my head. I had no idea what he was talking about most of the time. I have never really worried about my tax information because my dad has always done my taxes and just recently his company's accountant has been worrying about all our taxes and doing all that we would need to do for that. But the whole thing about saving receipts, keeping a driving/mileage log and whatever else was good to hear. To know that I can start doing that stuff now because I am my own company, esentially, and I need to do these things to keep me in the habit of doing it for the rest of my life (yikes!).
The whole thing about the LLC was good to hear too. I took Music Economics with Dave Olson last semester and have already forgot about some of the stuff that he talked about, including incorporating yourself to save your personal ass(ets). Lots of information...kind of a lot to chew on, but the taste will linger long enough to keep my mind goin/thinking about this important stuff.
That's all for now...until 10 mins from now when I finish my Danny/Brian blog :)
