I haven't heard much in the way of proper releases done by Curtis, but what I've heard as far as clips of stuff has been quite good. Once again, he benefits from the wonderful space he has.

Weatherstation - Marc Gosselin
Basque Studio - Curtis Basque
Wooden Studio - Wes Jagoe has a decent bunch of gear...
There are many independent recordists who haven't a facility but can do some form of recording/overdubs of projects such as Shelley Brown, Sean Roach, Scott DeVarenne, Mike Girouard, Sam Patterson.
I'm sure there are lots of people I don't know about as well... Anyone?
"Single Sam Studios"???sammyp wrote:Actually, due to a sudden turn of events in the marital life about a year ago, i find myself alone in a fair size bungalow surronded only by guitars, computer /recording gear and my beloved canine. In reality, i have quite a large recording studio. We can track in any room you choose - 2 good drum rooms! Alas, there's nobody here yet and i'm still too busy to care.....

That is the whole trick in a nutshell.Drumwaiter wrote:...because he was so impressed by not just the product but by the quality of the service and the professionalism.
Something lost on the newer players in the game. If "price" is all you have going for you, it won't last long.Drumwaiter wrote:The kicker is that we charge more in most cases and the clients are still coming back.
Following the latter part of this section, I doubt Sam would satisfy the CRA requirement. Curtis? Dunno. Yes Wes is recording primarily other artists actually. I know I had walked him through keeping his books straight some years ago, so I assume/hope he's playing legit.Drumwaiter wrote:PS - That KMP doesn't go on my list. But Sam's place certainly would if he's still active. Curtis was active as of this summer, he was recording the Hads. I'm eagerly anticipating this new release. They had approached us for the project but I think we were well of their budget unfortunately. Great band, would've loved to have worked with them if the budget permitted. Is Wes recording commercially or just doing his own projects?
I guess if I was to set the bar around here as to what a "studio" is, I'd set it to studios that sell their services to external clients and that declare their income to Revenue Canada. Does that set the bar too high?
I submit that until someone changes my mind, Fluid is the only proper room for hire in this town. That is essentially what you are getting at with this part of your post, and I agree.Drumwaiter wrote:The other thing I'd add is that any engineer could walk in an make a recording with nothing more than his skills and a house assistant.
