Thanks to all of the new technology advancements in the music industry, the internet, and in the electro-computer industry, I have been able to do so many things in my studio that only the wealthy, multi-million dollar recording studios could handle.   Things like:  the good quality recording and mixing consoles, recorders or studio time.  All of these are now computerized with software and a good Mac computer.

I use Logic Pro instead of Pro Tools for my digital audio recording. I can now use DSP  for reverb, and a multitude of effects that are so very important in obtaining the finished professional quality warm sound.  I can do all of the things that the major studios charged thousands of dollars for budget conscious musicians and producers.  A budget was that major hit maker or breaker, which, today, opens up the gates of the dam- allowing good material from the people to finally be heard by the masses.

The medium is obvious- it’s going to be the internet.  Rather online downloads or purchases of CDs and DVDs, the internet marketing opportunities are there in this industry!  Even music videos are now made on digital video camcorders/ cameras and edited on the computer with non-linear digital video editing software such as Avid,  Final Cut Pro and Abode Premiere.  I can take a talented singer,  write, arrange, record the music, shoot the video, edit it, post it on the web and just wait for folks on You tube to watch, get interested and link them to my website to purchase either a finished CD, DVD, or download same for a lesser fee due to less overhead.  But you must keep up with the tech-dashians to keep the edge.  Even with music for movie sound tracks,  the person with the best technology has the advantage.  I compose, record my demos, print out the arrangements for orchestra with Logic Pro,  Finale, or other music writing/printing software and have a complete package for the director and producer, and can even send the info via Skype or other forms of e-mail.  But it is all so wonderful and beautiful to experience!  From concept to finished product, all done in the comfort of my home studio.  This is an awesome sytem!
