Having run a vintage analogue studio for 15 years I have seen the business change a lot. This has become increasingly a niche area. Recording budgets even for established bands have been slashed. So I have decided to change with the times.
I have started a service whereby musicians can upload their music and have it run through my collection of vintage analogue gear and then have it uploaded back to their own private FTP folder.
It is all in very embrionic form at the moment but I wanted to put it past you guys to see if there was any interest in this kind of thing or whether you had any suggestions. I love this forum and feel comfortable here. It has helped me tech all my gear and keep me afloat.
Obviously it is never going to replace the experience of attending a session personally but I think it would work particularly well for musios who mix "in the box" and would like some analogue summing and colouring to help their music along without the expense of hiring a studio per se.
I will charge for my time however long it takes to complete a task and some extra for hosting the file transfer services. But I want to point out that this could be very cost effective especially if all you want to do is put your "virtual" mix through a console etc. This could potentially cost as little as $100. You can get as detailed as if you were hiring any professional studio - eq, compression, reverb etc. It can be as deep as you like.

I have taken a lot of pride over the years in helping people achieve their dream sounds and will take this attitude into this new venture. Testimonials and customer satisfaction are of utmost importance in this game.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
