Recording on a Budget Part 1: The Equipment - by Scott Hysell - So, you've written and perfected a bunch of original songs and you're ready to lay them down in a permanent form. The problem is, you're probably worried or maybe even a little discouraged by the potential costs involved. It can be incredibly expensive, but have no fear; it doesn't have to be that way
Recording on a Budget Part 2: Recording Concepts - by Scott Hysell - The simple truth is, recording (even home recording) can get pretty complicated, but don't let that pile of stuff scare you. As with most things complicated, the recording process can be broken down into a series of steps and concepts that are relatively easy to understand.
The "Live" Technique - by A-J Charron - Until (fairly) recently, many bands recorded their first albums (and almost all recorded their demos) this way. A-J takes us through a very busy weekend of recording. This is a great way for the band-on-a-budget to make a recording in a professional studio.
Home Recording: Equipment and Preparation - by A-J Charron - A-J gives us more tips on home recording, gleaned from his work on his upcoming CD. Packed with a lot of advice for the do-it-yourself person in all of us, A-J goes over the necessary equipment and the need to be prepared so that you can make your home recording experience as painless as possible.
Recording With Your Own Money (Without a Producer) - by A-J Charron - So you've decided it's time to record an album, yet you have no label backing you.

They just need to put it into production and onto the store tablets.

Compression - A Simple Explanation - by Stephen Sherrard - A compressor is basically a variable gain device that is used to either try to smooth out the dynamic range of a signal, or is also sometimes used as an effect. Different compressors have different types of characteristics and sounds that they impart to the source signal as well... the really expensive compressors are often expensive because of the character of their sound that is desirable for a lot of applications.
Do's and Dont's on Gigging Like a Pro! - by Lesa Taylor McCabe - The Manager is the poor slob that gets the job no one else wants. The person that can talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere, and about anything, and do it well. It is my job to make contact, keep in contact, and keep the contact happy. This involves many things, please, allow me to explain.
The Importance of a Contract - by Lesa Taylor McCabe - August 19, 2002 - When you and a club have decided that you and your band are the perfect match, dates are settled on, price is negotiated, the next step is to put all this in writing. This is for the protection of both parties.
How To Advertise Yourself and Your Band - by Lesa Taylor McCabe - The "Life Blood" of a band, any band, is advertising!! I'm sure you have heard the saying "Any press, even bad press, is good." Why? If you can get people to hear about you, say your name, talk about you over coffee, without hurting anyone or committing a crime, this is "good".
What Should I Have in my band's Promo Package? - by Lesa Taylor McCabe - Your promo is what's going to sell you to a club. It is the first impression you will give.

Song Dynamics - by Joe Benedetto - Song dynamics, you ask? Yes. In my opinion, this is what separates the men FROM the boys and the women FROM the girls. I know we are all guilty of it: playing at one volume that is loud or playing above the rest of the mix
Telephone Skills - by Joe Benedetto - The other night as I was drifting off to sleep I started to think. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed about all the auditions and long phone calls that never panned out. The reasons were numerous, too many times a week, too far, too young, too old, too inexperienced, too experienced...everything was a conundrum

Now 33 years later, I find myself in a band playing all the great songs of the Woodstock Era. So don't ever let anyone tell you that you are too old or too young to start in a band. I will be 53 years young this May, and our band has been together two years now.
