it might mean some extra dough for you.

free, but you then turn around & sell the CD's you burn off to

some parents will buy the shots & others won't. The audition
CD's are obviously something that you'd be doing more with
seniors trying to get into college music programs, etc.

Thoughts?

hat does your home studio and livestock have to do with providing that
service?

sounds like a great opportunity to create something out of what is
traditionally nothing.

the only recommendation I'd have is to make the work product look more
professional than a burned CD-R

cators. My friend's point was that people are
happily paying for just regular studio-burned versions, and
sometimes with not-so-hot recordings, at that.

Neilsounds like a great side business to be honest. If you can make the
recording process efficient, and sound high quality. could probably bring
in a lot of extra work through the exposure.

Bring a digital camera and snap a few shots for the cover. I wouldn't be
surprised if you could get $20 a pop for it.

Any links or tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Point me in

-jonbergh at gmail dot comi'm also sending a 5th version of the songs in binaural stereo. the
waveforms look weird but the sound is really interesting. you'll see
what i mean when you get them. i should be finished with them
tomorrow and will mail them back on thurs.sup pimp.

coming from someone who has been through floods having lived right on the
frikkin boston harbor in Chelsea, MA... this will be a recurring issue.
rain happens often. someone might say it's merely a '100year flood'
wrong... that shit will happen at least once or twice a year.

Figure out the lowest point in the basement and prepare to install a sump
pump with battery backup. keep an eye on it at least yearly to make sure
it's functioning.

>I am looking for something I can do a better premaster CD ref with.
Is there anyting out there that does not cost much that will allow nudging
and slipping of tracks and of start stop times also give the ability to drop
the track #'s where needed.
I'd like a more exact test CD for the mastering guys. Also being able to
use some UAD plugs would be good for quick short run CD's,Mmm, I think that sounds like a different fault. This key doesn't seem to
have any spring back at all. Well, maybe a little. If you lift it up you
can get it to sit in place, but it doesn't have as much spring as it should.
I'm suspicious that whatever causes the key to spring back (a spring perhaps?
;o) is broken, or out of place.

Thanks for your input though. At least, by the sound of it, if I take it
apart it's not like the whole keyboard is going to spring ou

Good point, and makes complete sense... so maybe the best thing
is actually a 3'x3' plate set at an angle from about 4' down to
6' down?!?!?!

NeilI sadly learned about this through a couple of dj roommates I had for a
while. They clued me in on the 'magic' american express traveler's checks
that they got with whatever new song someone was trying to push.

> -jonbergh at gmail dot comHi Neil,

I've been doing this for some time now. I came across the idea while
talking to the local high schools about being an assistant instructor.

It's a great side line gig that pays, hmm, well, okay. I'v gotten
anywhere between 100 - 200 depending on the "status" of the client. (the
retail slogan "some people want to pay $5 and some people want to pay
$10" is a good rule with this type of gig).

The upside is that I've found myself a little C. Aguillara and am doing
demo's with her doing stuff I've written. Who knows!

Cheers,

jef

I'm probably preachin' to the choir on this one, but the trick to this
is getting a reasonably priced CD printer and spending some time setting
up some stock graphics templates. This way you spend very little time
and get some reasonably pro looking packages. Part of the reason I get
great refferals is because my packages look, IMHO, pretty cool.

I'm a fairly accomplished graphics artist, so if you're thinking of
doing this and you arn't a graphics guy, email me and I can probably
help you out.

Cheers,

jef

n top of that, you might
pop the FX pedal, I've seen some designs that have a pretty hefty voltage in
the signal to keep it hot into the tank.... a DMM should tell you if it's
safe or not. Shoot, you might like the sound of the odd impedence and tone
tailoring.. just make sure to hit it for that voltage.
