These days I see way more advertising, way more special deals (and so-called special deals) flooding my inbox than ever before.  Businesses that have been around for a very long time going out of existence in a very short time.  Lots of “friends” always looking for a job, then disappearing when I don’t have anything to offer them.  Sad times indeed!

Fear not, the great companies will survive because they will continue to market, sell, and find creative ways to hang in there.  This commitment and creativity will set them apart when things pick up and really launch them.  The old dogs tend to get complacent and then uncertain, and the leading companies of the last boom are usually not the great ones of the next boom.  Times like these are opportunities for those who are prepared to weather them, and have the conviction to plow ahead!  Oh by the way…we plan to be one of these

Of course, it never hurts to have good friends to help.  Not the ones that call looking for something, then disappear as they try the next “friend” on their list.  I’m talking about real friends, the ones that think about you when somebody asks where to go for some help, or when there’s an opportunity…just like you would think of them in the same situation.  I consider everyone who has entrusted their art to Gator-Studios.com a friend, and the many that have referred folks to me as well.  Same goes for the good folks that pop by the forum or email me looking for guidance, those that are really looking to learn something and get better.  You put your trust in me, and I don’t intend to let you down!

And then there are those that stand out even more.  I won’t mention names but their hearts are as big as they come!  I’ve had folks drop gifts on the studio in the past, and very recently as well.  These folks thought of us and our mission to help the Riff world to be the best it can be whether just mucking around or trying to make a few bucks off CD’s or film/TV.  They understand that part of our plan is to “pay it forward” with the best tools and environment we can provide for our friends.  The quality of music coming out of Riff land is astounding these days, and we’re proud to be a part of it in whatever way we can.

In short, thanks dudes!  We have big plans for the future and fully intend to come out the other side in great shape.  This spring a bigger studio is being built, giving us an even better mixing and mastering environment plus some great options around tracking.  We plan to expand into some other studio opportunities as well.  Here at Gator-Studios.com we’re not hanging on for dear life, we’re plowing ahead into the future.  Come join us!
