looking for a place to record FREE? San Antonio, Texas

[cubis]

ok, for one of my classes, Audio Technology II, our assignment for the semester is to record 4 projects in the basement recording studio on campus.

we have Protools 7 (getting 8 soon), with the Waves Native Plugins [Gold Package], as well as autotune and amplitube le. we'll be getting many more plugins soon. we have a decent selection of microphones to suit pretty much every need. there is a studio piano. you would need to bring your guitars/basses/drums/etc but we have plenty of inputs, enough to record the whole band at once (which is probably not advisable for a better recording)

if you have a band or an idea for a recording project - a song or a jingle or whatever, please let me know here

This is absolutely free, but you have to realize I'm still learning. I get a grade out of this, you get a recording. good deal i say

[crazy_guitar_man]

haha wow this is a good deal i wish i lived in texas

[cubis]

yeah so far i have one "maybe, but i'm really serious about it", one "maybe, but i don't know how i'll get there" and one I haven't asked officially yet.

[crazy_guitar_man]

haha if i had a lot of money i might have been getting on the airplane haha but since i dont i guess i won't be able to :frown: ....well i hope you find some people.

[cubis]

if you had the money for a plane you could probably just use that money for a studio session nearer to home lol

[crazy_guitar_man]

well yeah thats true haha well i guess what i should say is if i had a lot of money i would help you out for a grade haha :2thumbups:

[cubis]

lol, why thanks for the gesture!

[crazy_guitar_man]

well i try to be a nice guy haha it's all in a days work :w:

[cubis]

yay i get to go down to the studio again tomorrow... hopefully after today he's going to let us sign up for studio time - all night sessions after 9pm! :jumpgrin:

[crazy_guitar_man]

haha sweet what is your major..im sry if you already said it i forget haha

[cubis]

oh, well my major is Computer Science, but right now i have to wait until i complete a few classes so i can take the more advanced stuff, which was about 8 hours a semester for a year and a half, and since i need 12 hours each semester to get financial aid, i decided to go for a Certificate in Music Technology, which is like a minor when it comes to amount of hours. its actually much much more fun than my major.

[crazy_guitar_man]

nice i wanted to do something in music then my physics teacher come along one day and showed me the program i am in and she sold it to me like a new car dealer...haha good thing it was something that interested me

[cubis]

i had a really good physics teacher in high school... i considered a physics degree but i figured i wouldn't invent anything special and would have to end up being a teacher - which isn't a bad thing, just not MY thing

[crazy_guitar_man]

yeah i have pondered the idea of teaching i just dont want to go to school that long haha but yeah hopefully i will get into a epic band and make mega dollars...now back to reality maybe ill just try to get a internship haha

[cubis]

i was thinking of working for a music software company... its like the natural next step lol



in some ways i would like to be a teacher too... oh my friend was going for civil engineering for like 3 years and decided to change to a math major for teaching

[crazy_guitar_man]

yeah i have thought about doing a math major to be a teacher cuz i am pretty good at math so i am thinking about it still haha

[cubis]

you have some time to think - what year are you? its ok if you hold off for a little because engineering is a lot of math

[crazy_guitar_man]

yeah im in my second semester haha still a freshman but yeah i think i might just finish this then go on for more schooling after awile...there are a few adult students in my classes that have done that and they said it seemed to be a good way to go...i am also thinking of still getting in to a music buissness as a engineer becasuse what i am in i am learning autocad and other software that those companies need

[cubis]

the only thing is that if you get out of school you have to start paying back your financial aid 6 months later

[crazy_guitar_man]

yeah i know that is the only bad thing...i just hope i will be able to get a job once im done becuz of this economy

[cubis]

yeah that's pretty scary, i hope i can stay in school

[crazy_guitar_man]

yeah speaking of loans is another scary thing i really hope i can pay them back haha i have it in my mind that if i don't these guys in black suits will come for me haha jk but i mean that would be cool haha
