I guess I am weird. I buy my most of my equipment for local stores unless there is a huge price difference. I buy my strings from my local music store. I buy what food I can from local farmers. I've never bought a foreign car. I will buy a cd from a local band WAY before I will get one online.

My point is that this need CAN be filled just as well right here in state and I will stand by that. Like I said, I'm sure everyone mentioned in the thread is awesome..... but so are the musicians right here in Georgia and there are a few that even know a thing or two about songwriting and songwriters. We are not all hicks!



Hi Ed

Yes smile we are a bit misunderstood for sure lol

Yes you can do everything and get everything you want in your own state,town & maybe even your neighborhood. YES why go out of state if your physically gonna be walking into a studio I agree. That would be foolish.

But online? You wouldn't restrict yourself by staying local online,that makes no sense at all. Exactly what are we talking about? If it's going to another state to walk in and record a demo then this particular thread is over lol

What is EB looking for a demo studio at all for? That is what is going to determine what he does. If he could just walk in cold to a studio in his town why wouldn't he? Why would he be looking?
Sounds like he's thinking online session to me...

But the circumstances I'm talking about widely vary, I don't know how you personally go about recording your songs.
But lets say you wrote songs,you are JUST a songwriter, now where are you going to go to record? And how much are you going to pay and what are you going to do, ya know how are you going to go about it. Going INTO a studio could be a BIG costly mistake for a songwriter.

These are some of the questions a songwriter asks about.
So these are the various situations they deal with when making a try at a goal. What do I do? and who can help me that works out best for me?
Now if that answer lies ONLINE and not in a local studio why in the world would you limited yourself online to one place? If it's online than you can shop everywhere & anywhere.

On a different topic....

As far as buying a CD from a local band because they are local before one from a band I really like who lives somewhere else. That doesn't make sense to me at all smile I don't have that kinda loyalty to my state smile
And when my American cars, ALL which have died at a hundred thousand miles or less last for 250,000 miles and much more than I will never look at a Camry or Nissan again smile So when money doesn't matter to me anymore I'll buy a Ford and a Buick and watch it fall apart. After the 100,000 mark your at least going for a Tranny and that ain't cheap.

My car right now is a Buick smile and all at one time, the car stalled, the door wouldn't open from the inside,the window would not come down and the horn did not blow.
The funny part was my wife drives over a train track every day to and from work. Now imagine that and read again what I said about the car smile She thought I was trying to get rid of her lol

Thanks!
Peace Mike
