Our studios

Hi everyone, this is not really an update just going to let you all see how it’s done.
The pictures are from both the studios we are doing our recording on.
The first photo is from the Santa Cruz Ca Studio where the main tracks are being recorded and then the second photo is from London Ontario Canada where Mark St Martin is doing the final mix down. Also most of the Guitar leads are being recorded at the London studio by Peter Dawson.

We are learning allot about computer based recording and how it works compared to analog recording. My first recordings were done on a Tascam system back in the 80s and with a good engineer the sound is great. But with the Computer based recording you can do so much more and you can get great quality from a system like Adobe’s Audition software. Part of our goal at the J Martinez Project is to get other Musicians to ponder going at it on there own. We have the World Wide Web now and back in the 80s most of us musicians would have killed for something this powerful.

James’s Watson of San Francisco state universities sent me a recording that he made in about an hour and the sound was better than I have seen from major studios.
The point is if you can learn the recording ins and outs you can make your own record and then with the internet you can market it yourself and who knows perhaps even sell a few copies. MP3’s are used with many types of hardware and you could offer them right off of your website and sell them for a much better price to the consumer that the Mega outfits who are charging as high as $20.00 for a CD.

Think about it if you dare to, your chances of getting a record contract are slim at best. And for the most part modern RIAA outfits don’t really want solid well played music. If your not pretty or can be marketed to the kids they really have no use for you. Further more why would you want to have a contract with a company who would change you make you look like a Porn Star? Take a look at what the MTV/RIAA Crowd did to Gwen Stefani and No Doubt and you can see how a band goes from being one thing into another completely different thing.

Its about the music and musicians not how many Made in China Shoes we can sell.
Well back to the studios
