Tucker Martine

In the music industry, it is always good and inspiring to have a lot of passion. Tucker Martine, a well-known producer and audio engineer, has been in music for most of his life. Like a lot of young and aspiring engineers of today, Martine started as a musician. As the article and interview in Mix magazine says, he started playing the drums at a young age. From there he progressed to both the music side and the sound side. He started recording the bands that he played in as well as other bands. This is very similar to how young aspiring engineers (high school and college-aged, mostly) begin their climb through the industry. Of course it was a lot of work to get to the point he is at now. It took him fifteen years to become well known in the industry. As the interview goes through,...

Business Plans

There is a lot to be learned from professionals in the business consultants just from their views on business plans. In the previous post, I researched Frank Gloey and Dave Lavinsky.

I incorporated information from both professionals in my business plan. Goley stresses being genuine and realistic. I made the most realistic assumptions in my business plan as possible.

In the specific area my company is located in, there is no other company just like...

Mobile Recording

When the iPhone became popular, developers began making more and more apps to do a variety of things. From games to finances to even being able to control Pro Tools from an iPhone. This introduced an even easier way to use mobile recording. ProRemote has been around since 2007. With Pro Tools LE, the app gave 8 channels of faders. These channels ran in real time and even gave colored monitoring like that inside Pro Tools, itself. Not only did ProRemote run on iPhone, it is available for iPod touch, as well. Mobile recording became even more popular. Pro Tools is not the only DAW with an iPhone controller. There are also controllers for Logic, Ableton, and many other DAWs. Many of these can be run from ProRemote. The remotes...

Affordable Analog Recording
