All studios, both large and small, spend a lot of money every year in an unending quest to attract clients whether they are upgrading equipment, tweaking acoustics, or adding that big leather couch for the back of the control room. But merely throwing money at a studio may not be enough to keep it competitive. As with any other business, a recording studio must be properly managed in order to be profi table, or merely to break even. This allnew and expanded edition of The Studio Business Book is the bestselling stepbystep guide to operating and managing a professional recording facility.

Other chapters cover the fine art of studio management: scheduling sessions, dealing with clients, hiring and firing employees, maintaining and upgrading equipment, and how to cope with all kinds of disasters. The authors combine decades of insider experience and knowledge of the subject in this solid, wellwritten and carefully organized text. As an added bonus, numerous interviews with leading experts in every facet of the business are interspersed throughout the chapters, providing rare insights and fi rsthand advice from successful industry veterans who deal with studio operations every day. This is truly a musthave book for anyone interested in starting a recording business.
