A woman robbed you? She had to be a junky. I'm not meaning to sound sexist here, but it is really rare to have a female B&E unless they have a heroin habit

hello all, my i s p or email sirver has been acting up lately. i have tryed to post on this subject three times. i have pritty good sucurity at the studio. we have motion detecters, and sencers on all dors. we are on the third flowr, and you must have a key to open a lock in the ellivator before the button for the third flowr will work. if you dont use a key to tirn the lock you can press three all day long and the car wont move. i keep all microphones under lock and key. and only get out the ones that i am useing for each session. i allways start taring down before the client leavs. i collect all microphones and after that, there is not a lot they could pack out unless they wanted stands or cords. most of my other gear is to bulky to carry with out looking conspicuwous. let me sey i have been more careful about who i bring in for tures of my place, after my house was broken in to a few weaks ago the person who did that, was picked up this past thirsday. she admitted she new me by sight, new i was blind, and that i was not at home whin she busted in. thats something that wrealy sucks about beeing v i, you dont know if any one is watching you. this person was across the street wateing for me to leave, and i did not know. but any how, i get some suspect people who want to ture the studio. some guy will want to do vocal over dubs and need about three hours of work, and he will want to come and see the place before he will agree to book a session. this has started to trouble me. first off you are not recording an orchestra, there is no need to know how large the place is for one person vocal over dubbs. secont no other studio's in cincinnati will do this for you, why should i? third, its just $150, or do you wrealy have $150 to spend? i have started telling people to look at the web site, we have pictures that can giv you a good idea of the stile and size of the mane recording room, drum booth, and controll room. i am pritty sure we have pictures of most of the smaller rooms as well. whin some one calls me with the old walk through request, it makes me wonder if they have been to the web site, and have red my bio, and know that i am blind. it is a possibility that they would think i am a push over. evin though i am 6 1, 200 pounds, have long hair, and tattoo's. As well as a jerman shepperd guide dog. most of the thuggs in cincinnati dont care. they either have guns or a crack habbet, or both. crime here is rammpad, and some of the clients i work with, talk openly about there crimes in there songs... this can bee unnirving at times, but i own a smith and wesson my self. thats the way it has to bee here, and it is a darn shame. whin i lived in new york city, i felt safer than i do here. ohh the times we liv in!
any how i look foward to hereing stories from other listers..

Hi, Sean,

Good stuff! Yeah, I did take your initial note as mostly tongue-in-cheek
but I do think you're latest comments are right on.

Bill

P. S.  So, are you saying you're really not 250 and 0 fat? (grin!)

Dear Bill and Everyone,

My remarks were only meant to be a quick chuckle to start!

I use to own and operate a recording studio several years ago, back in the
(strictly) analog days, in New York. The way I handled most sessions was to
have an assistant to work with the clients while I worked on the more
technical parts of the recording process. It really does take more then one
person to meet the needs of musicians. It is always very easy to find a
young and energetic up-and-coming recording engineer/musician that is glad
to simply be involved in the recording process. I realize that most
sessions today are likely to be smaller and not in need of more then one
person to run the session, but again, there is often a person that just
loves to be part of it all.

I started out the same way back in the seventies working in a college radio
station doing PSAes. After a while, I was able to manage the studio for the
college and was off on my way. After all, I don't like creating anything to
share with the world, if there's nobody there to share it with. I guess
this is one of the major reasons why I am now married with four children
that I now work and play Christian music in a ministry of our own.

I was only half kidding when I said that you could hire the Wal-Mart greeter
part time. If you feel like you should have eyes present with a new client
that you don't have much information on, just hire someone for the sessions
until your comfortable.

On a more technical note, there are so many affordable security systems
available from Mini Cams to full blown tagging systems just like the
Wal-Mart guy has.

Well, that's enough for now from me, I just like to have a little fun once
and a while!

Take care and Happy Mastering to you all!!!
