Royalties?
I had several conversations with well known musicians /songwriters who have millions of downloads on Spotify yet they are getting crumbs as far as royalties are concern, I also understand that It’s not the same to sell an actual physical record or CD to sell a download, no one is selling either, the owners of Spotify are making a killing (are they?) the songwriter not unless you are Taylor swift, What is the answer? songwriters have zero leverage , are musicians (the big names) trying to talk to the movers and shakers on our behalf? or this is the generation of the lame? or resign yourself to the fact that songwriting (unless you are a Max Martin) is not lucrative anymore. Can someone who is actually knows, not the average Joe enlighten me? Thank you.

New Monitors
Got a pair of Focal powered monitors, I had a pair of KS powered monitors and out of nowhere for no reason the transformer fell on top of the circuit board and shorted everything inside, I called the company and It was a total disappointment, no customer service what so ever so I’m done with that company, no good reviews from me, my new Focal monitors sound awesome and they have a great reputation in the industry. UPDATE I was lucky to meet this genius in electronics who repaired my damaged KS digital speaker so I will be able to use It,
Still the KS digital company in my opinion has a terrible customer no service.

Original music
Hi, This is David again, welcome to my blog, lately I was thinking on posting my songs on line and I’m not sure if I should ad a page to BIGSOUND PRODUCTIONS ATL or just make another website only for original songs with the sole purpose of showcasing them, it will be done soon enough, just wanted to share that piece of information with you.

Things change...
This week I recorded this rock band and It was great!! we recorded several guitar tracks and used different amps , an old Marshall, a Fender deluxe amp using several mics (Ribbon and cardioid mics) different guitars Acoustic and electric, It was so much fun! for the last 4 months I have been recording edm, hip hop, rap and pop, mostly computer or keyboard generated sounds, loops and effects etc… so this week was great I got to actually record live instruments, back in the 90’s l used to record 3 bands a week, it was the normal thing, like I said… things change.

All New Studio
I am very excited with my new upgraded recording studio. My old studio was PC based. I had Cubase 6 and the IO was RME fireface 800, a nice control room and a nice recording room. My flagship microphone was a Rode Classic mic and a Vintage Sony C37P. I had EV microphones for the drum kit. Senheizer microphones, AKG, Shure etc…
Then I had the good fortune to land a couple of big production projects and decided that this was my chance to upgrade the studio. With my old studio I could only record 8 tracks at once so I had to change that also many times. I had clients that requested specifically Pro tools and my main software was Cubase. After giving It a lot of thought I decided to first replace my PC for an 8 processor Apple Mac pro computer with a retina cinema 27 inch Monitor. Then I also purchased pro tools 10, I had to make up my mind on what IO I wanted so I decided to get an Apogee Symphony 64, which Is as good as HD. (My opinion? I think it’s better, It’s warmer) I got 2, 8 channel ones (a total of 16) so I can now record 16 tracks at once)and I have 250 virtual tracks.
Next I wanted to improve my microphone arsenal so I purchased a MIKTEK tube microphone CV4 model (made in Nashville) and 2 MIKTEK matched pair C5’s (for overheads) Then I decided that I needed a super mic to record guitars and the answer was a Royer 121 ribbon mic. I also got a Neumann TLM 103, added more mic pre amps and got a Universal Audio 4 710D (4 mic pre in one and each has a compressor and It can be tube or fet, you can dial more of the tube or more of the fet) so the studio has 4 NPNG mic pre’s 4 UA mic pre and 1 UA LA 610 , and I had everything hardwired to a patch bay. My mixing board is an Onyx 1640 and I use the same Tanoys PBM 6.5, Update, on my next post I talk about my new monitors, they are outstanding!
So finally after all this work everything is finished and the brand new studio is ready! And we are ready to deliver incredible quality for a very modest price.
I’m a musician and I have been around the block enough and not only can I make your
recordings sound great but I can also offer my expertise in music.. from HIP HOP to
Rock to Country R&B etc….
