Introduction

Thanks for taking the time to read my first post. I am a qualified Youth and Community Worker, and studio/live sound engineer. I am based in Hassocks, near Brighton

I am passionate about music and have started playing bass in a band this year. I have purchased some gear to record some high quality stuff this year. I want to work with local musicians to realize their dreams and sell some mp3s on the internet. I am currently looking at the indiestore.com and tunecore.com, the first of these sells your music and takes a percentage and the second acts as a middleman and puts your music on itunes/amazon for a flat fee.

Week to week I manage bookings and equipment at "The Stable", and also look to create affordable opportunities for young people to experience new ways of making music.

I am currently studying for a BA Hons in Learning and Development at Brighton University.

My next update will be to tell you about my new equipment:
Allen and Heath ZED 16 firewire desk (analogue mixer that links to computer)
I am planning to buy a Drawmer 1969 valve compressor, to improve the front end of the recordings.

I will tell you more about the musicians I am currently working with.

I work as a studio engineer/producer at a studio. We specialise in working with young/developing bands. We have some lovely front end gear. I am also a (soon to be unemployed) qualified Youth and Community worker. I use these two strands to create a strange and interconnected world of friends/paid work/projects.
