Yup…still here!

I guess the title says it all…Gator-Studios.com is still here, helping you get the most out of recording!  The only challenge this year has been time.  Time to do marketing, time to do new backing tracks, time for writing.  Oh well, some years enable and some challenge.  There is always next year!

We had some very cool projects to work on this year.  One good friend of the studio (despite being an FSU guy!), recently had us master his debut CD (Monsters, Kids & Dogs, by Escape The Maze–get it on iTunes here and Amazon here!).  This is a great example of excellent and unique songwriting that needs to get out to more ears.  I encourage you to grab this CD and spread the word about indie music!

Gator-Studios.com had plenty of projects to work on despite the level of marketing we like to do.  Marketing is one of the fun things here, we like to try new things constantly and see how they work out.  Sort of like fishing sometimes, you can’t always know what you will catch!  We had to throw most all the studio time into working on things, instead of the other business things.  Inevitably you have to do those things for continued success, but until they invent more hours in the day…
We had some big plans this year.  A bigger studio room and some equipment upgrades for example.  It turns out equipment takes a lot less time to buy than a new room takes to build!  While the room will have to wait until 2010, we have upgraded the converters, some software, and have some venerable NOS tubes up and running now.  Did you know we’re using the same D/A converters as Universal Mastering Studios?  This is not your typical bedroom with no treatment and a TonePort here…it’s the real deal, and not cheap, but soooooo worth it if you’re doing mixing and mastering.  If we can’t hear your music, how can we make it as good as it can be?

So…this is just a quick note to let you know we’re still here, despite the lack of blogs and front page updates that we like to do!  It’s been a tough year for all of us in music, and we all gotta do what we gotta do to survive.  We’ll start 2010 with the best laid plans again, and see how much gets done!  Whatever happens, we’ll leave the light on for you.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
