Recording Studio on Salt Spring Island.

| Cathedral Avenue User Info... | I'll be opening a studio on Salt Spring Island next year, 'Cathedral Avenue.' The set up will be pretty rock-centric at first, until I can earn some money to expand it. If you're considering travelling to record, not only can I give you a price break, but take the time to Google the location, it's probably the best possible place to try to make a record. It's beautiful. There's plenty of room to crash at the studio, so no worries about hotel costs, either. Here are some samples of stuff I've engineered: -www.revolutionchords.com/sample1.mp3 -www.revolutionchords.com/sample2.mp3 -www.revolutionchords.com/sample3.mp3 -www.revolutionchords.com/sample4.mp3 Here's my initial equipment list: Instruments: (guitar) -Rickenbacker 650C Colorado (stock Rickenbacker humbuckers). -Yamaha T-100 (Mike Soldano-designed). -Soldano 4x12 cabinet (Celestion V30s). (bass) Gibson Tobias Growler 4 (Bartolini pickup/electronics). Ampeg SVT350 Classic Ampeg SVT 410HLF cabinet (drums) 1972 Ludwig Blue Oyster 5 piece Yamaha Absolute Maple 7x14 snare Interface: Digidesign Digi 003 Rack Factory Microphones: -Shure SM57s (3) -Electro Voice RE20 -Studio Projects C1 -Rode NTK -AKG C451 -Sennheiser MD-421 Miscellaneous: Various pedals, outboard effects, preamps (PreSonus Bluteube, etc.). Contact me at cathedralavenuesound (at) yahoo (dot) com if you want any more information or to book time with me. I'm booking for beginning in September, and rates start as low as $100 per 8-12 hour day, while I'm getting going. --Dreux - Sun, 6 May 2007 9:55pm | ||

| Cathedral Avenue User Info... | Took out a loan for $6700. It wasn't that expensive. Although what I'm doing now probably won't sound the same as those samples. Those were done when I was staff engineer at a pretty nice home studio in DC, so I had access to a lot of really diverse gear. I'll be able to get the same quality out of what I've got, but I'll only have access to a certain set of sounds for a while. I'm big into off-the-shelf sounds. I don't like over-processing. As for how I get my money for other things? Like what? My travelling? Paid for mostly by grants or made inexpensive by people offering me meals and places to stay in return for volunteer work. My band's stuff with J Robbins? Paid for by our record label. I don't end up spending a lot of money on my projects. Also, keep in mind my UVic tuition is paid for by a tuition reimbursement scholarship I won from Georgetown University, so I don't have to contribute money to that. I also took two years off after highschool to earn money for college, so my living expenses are well-covered by the savings I accumulated during that time, to a certain extent. And in general I find the time to set up the volunteer work/find the grants I do because I treat UVic like a pitstop. Get in, attend class, get the fuck out. It occupies about 5-10 percent of my time/thoughts and I like it that way. I try to see the work I'm doing in my classes there as valuable independent of professors' opinions of it and its place in earning me grades. I also like to think that my grades and the value of my performances in those classes exist according to the hard work I put into what I submit, not in how much I endear myself to the campus environment. I guess the vast majority of students at UVic, from what I've observed, earn their grades in the classroom with head-nodding and ingratiation, but I prefer to think I can do better by putting the hours in on my own and without being noisy or self-serving about it. Because in 2007, afterall, universities are intellectual environments 5 percent of the time and academic environments the other 95 percent, and those two are not the same. Academic environments are elitist, nepotist, and concerned with their own status quo. So yeah, uh, end rant. I work hard and volunteer a lot to try to find interesting opportunities for myself without shelling out/selling out. --Dreux - Mon, 7 May 2007 5:07pm Edited: Mon, 7 May 2007 5:56pm | ||
