Great start to 2011!
AudioGuru
So, Advanced Budget Studios took a bit of a break during the holidays, and with that came the usual curiosity as to how the new year would be.
Well, I'd have to say that 2011 is looking great. We started off the year recording a wonderful new artist named Taylor Miller. He'll have a website up soon, and his music sounds fabulous! ...

AnythingSlider is Awesome
PoeticIntensity
So, when I started the re-design of my studio website, I knew I would need sliders, but I didn't realize how many unconfigurable, and generally static sliders were out there. I must have gone through 5 iterations of sliders before I found one that matches my needs (and probably will be the go-to slider for any project I work on in the future)...

Taylor Miller Session

Man... I'm kicking myself right now for not taking a photo of this amazing musician, but I was way too interested in the music I was hearing to worry about silly cameras.
Taylor Miller came in for a visit, and recorded 3 original songs tonight. They have yet some proper embellishment to receive, but the tracks we got tonight were primo.&nbs...

Website Re-design!
AudioGuru
About 2 months ago, a great musician, designer, and friend sent me a new design idea for AdvancedBudgetStudios.com. After getting various opinions, I decided to have a go at it. Also, with all the free time I had during the holidays, I thought it would be a good time to get crackin'.
So, without further ado, I present you the new and ...

We're on the radio!
PoeticIntensity
Okay.. Not really the "radio", but a cool little Internet radio station picked up Herod the Fink (a band I'm in), and decided to feature us. They decided to play our song, "Desperate Husband's Chorus", and I think it's way cool.
The radio station is called "LDS Music Today" and can be found at http://www.ldsmu...

Since we haven't been booking clients during November and December, we've had a few extra moments to really think about and research the needs of the studio. The success this little studio has had is very exciting, and only makes us want to hone our craft that much more.
Honing the craft is great, but pouring the success of the studio back ...

Thoughts on HtF
PoeticIntensity
So, the Christmas season is officially here, and I'm feeling more Christmas Spirt than I ever have in my life - by a long shot.
I attribute this to two things... First and foremost, attitude, and making good choices. To me, Christmas is a spiritual season because it's filled with love, good will, charity, friends, and family. If...

That's true, and verse 1 of this chapter is Jesus' commandmen...
