… so heres the skinny (yet... once again). My ass has been sitting over a 32 track studio (krakdhaus) that has been dormant for... well... forever. I'm in the process of turning it into a podcast/Youtube facility that would feature Cincinnati bands/ensembles, D.I.Y./noise/improvisers, poetry slammers, plate twirlers, food eating competition winners… anything that deals with the ‘fringe’… It would be a weekly or bi-weekly show (depending on interest and how long production time would be). Bands would come into the studio, set-up and record a live performance (@ 40mins or so), then finish up with a small interview with whatever info the band wants known (upcoming gigs, website, releases, social media etc…). It would be recorded as a multitrack session… and mixed down to 2 track for broadcasting. You get a copy of the finished performance for yourselves to do with whatever you wish (sell, give away at shows, etc…). I’ll cover all production costs and post the podcast from my website, YouTube and/or other podcasting sites. Since it is tracked as a multitrack session (and if you like your performance)… you have the option of purchasing the audio tracks to mix on your own... or do a mixdown session at krakdhaus that you would be charged a (very) small studio rate. I pretty much have an open schedule… so you can come in at anytime you wish. I figure setup and recording to be @ 3 to 3 1/2 hours (with a 4 hour cap) from the time you enter the studio until the time you leave (or escorted out). If you are a traveling band and coming thru Cincinnati… you are also more than welcome (considering some will have time to kill before a show, might as well waste it at my place!). As for local esembles, it might help to promote your gig (depending when the podcast will air). I’m sure some acts incorporate multimedia... so I’m planning at some point to bring a video feed into the mix. I am also interested in any assistance that can be provided... audio/video engineers & editors, photographers, graphics, interviewers, 'roaming camera/live scene' reporters, food testers... baristas... anything. I need guinea pigs to work out any glitches in the process. I’m hoping to get a head start and begin recording bands sometime in the late Winter/early Spring for broadcast @ mid-Spring of '17. If you are interested... email me your info. Include any weblinks you might have... such as Soundcloud, social media, etc... I will get bakatcha...
PS... it has come to my attention that several people have gotten their emails bounced back to them. But... I am receiving them (!). I am trying to respond within a few hours once it hits the inbox... so if you don't hear back from me... send it again using krakd@mac.com.
