Music Production
Studio
My pride and joy and the money maker is the
music production studio that I put
together. The studio equipment that I have has been with me for
several years.
Of course I have some new equipment but the hot stuff is
my vintage gear.
I have been producing music since 1999 and I have collected
some smoking pieces of hardware.
I also use software because
computers have changed and are much more powerful.
The information you can hold now is absolutely nuts.
Take a look at what I had to use in 1999 with my
Korg Triton.
With only 1.44 megabytes of space you could not hold much
data.
Samples usually
took about 7 of these disc. As you can see the red floppy is #1
of seven that I have to pull up sequences I produced.
As a producer your lab where your home music production is
created is the heart of everything. All your studio software,
digital recording equipment and production gear is there
on call. It's how you make your money.
Keep What You
Buy!
Technology is always changing. As a matter of fact it
changes every 6 months. That means what you
buy now will be vintage within a year PERIOD. That is not a bad
thing though.
Vintage gear brings a different sound. You cannot get the
sound of my Roland JV-2080 in the Fantom. My Proteus 2000 is
the illest sound module on the planet. (Well it is when
I use it...LOL)
To get vintage equipment for music production now you have to hit
places like Ebay. Go to any professional recording studio
and you will see hardware like ASR-10's from Ensoniq or
Yamaha NS-10 monitors.
My point is they just are not making gear like this anymore
and 10 years from now things like MPC-1000's or Roland Fantom's
will be obsolete.
How do I know that? Well look at the history of Roland keyboards.
