Congrats Uncreator and nice post.
Personally, and from my own experience, I'd say that the actual hands-on experience of tracking, mixing and mastering is priceless and something that you really on only do get by doing it rather than reading about it . One thing to consider perhaps is once you've completed the album is to maybe use it as a showcase for your mixing and see if you can get further experience and paid work from the other bands/musicians in your area. A lot of them might be really grateful to have some like you who does have experience . If you do you could build up a portfolio and reputation which can help get other work . -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Congratulations man! This was a very interesting post to read. I'm really glad you finally accomplished your dream and finished the album - and to do it all by yourself!? Amazing! Experience you gained from this will be so valuable you can't imagine. Tony gave you a nice tip to consider. You could offer your recording/skills to local bands that need demos, EPs, album or whatever. You could really make some nice revenue from that. You should also try to promote your album as much as you can, internet possibilities are endless and bring so many good things! Good job mate on warping this one!

A pretty good example of the value of having the experience of recording in your own setup is Symphony X!
You can see their evolution, specifically M. Romeo in who's studio they have recorded all the time, If you listen to their first album and then Paradise Lost, it's a tremendous leap that took more than 10 years but now they have the freedom to keep on doing music at any pace and with the greatest quality, -------------------- Visit my:

great story man, i'm doing exactly the same with my band, it is a LONG process.
but in my case we put more time actually in the song writing than in the recording process, congratulations again, i know it's hard -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers! Got a Blog too!, www.adriantracks.com Follow me on facebook and youtube! -Youtube |
