When I started Dubway, it was essentially a home studio, but stuck in a funky room in midtown where I could make a lot of noise. Basically, a musician's studio for musicians.

So I know where you're coming from. I learned an awful lot on my own, while experimenting on unsuspecting clients. But I found my engineering chops expanded dramatically when somebody came through who might ask me to do something a little differently. And if they were actually an engineer, I might really pick up some valuable techniques. And so I just learned more and more about audio engineering, gear, and production.

But, you know, it took a long time (I'm still learning), and looking back, I think I would have benefited a lot if someone with real experience had sat down and worked with me and my setup, even for a short time.

When people bring recordings to Dubway from their home studios (to mix, or add tracks to, or whatever), they often sound great. But it's also apparent, after listening and talking to them, that some very simple suggestions could've probably helped them out.

That's why Dubway has started this "pro advice on-site" service. Getting more out of your home studio can be a very simple and inexpensive process. We've got years of all kinds of experience, and anyone who's worked with us knows we're glad to share it. Take advantage of it!

Anyway, good luck with your home recording.
