Living in Southern California and haveing to swap sessions with a lot of other studios around from the big L.A./Hollywood to the small home studios, I rarly get asked for anything but Protools. I'm recording/mixing an album now that we will take to Sound Castle in Hollywood and pull up on there protools rig run through there SSL J9000 with tons of outboard goods, and then run back to protools sterio 24-96 so that I can master it. This artist www.tyronewells.com wone an Orange County Music award on the last album we did and one of the songs was on WB's One Tree Hill and he just wone UCLA's 'spring sing' which is an old tradition that bands like Maroon 5 and many others have also one. I have a Mac G4 dual 1.42, a digi002, all the waves plugins and a few others, and Record to Tascams DA98's with a da7 to monitor back. I'm chargn' about 35 an hour like the produca and my phone rings DAILY with people wanting to book time. Its all how you handle the biz but my two cents it Protools is it!
