So you have worked up some songs.  Played them around town.  Your friends seem to like your music.  You need to make a record.  Where do you go? You have some friends that are doing well in the music business.  You ask them some questions.  Where did you lay your music tracks? No matter what you think, it's still 80% you that makes the record sound great.  This game called the music business is so competitive.  Like anything you think you want to be the best at.  Basketball, be like Michael Jordan.  Football, run like Barry Sanders. There are so many things to know in the Entertainment Industry.  You are just starting to put your sound together.  You think you can make a record that can compete with Dr. Dre? What are you gonna do with this record after you make it?  Give it to your friends?  Put it under your pillow and pray that its' gonna be a hit?  You gonna send it to JayZ? Your music better be the best thing you have ever heard.  You should be proud of it, know it is as good as any other music in your Genre.  If you are sure you got that kind of drive in your music, bring it to me. This is still only one stepping stone in a hurdle ridden world called the Music Business.  There is a 99% failure rate.  What makes you that 1% to get your music right? Does your music take you somewhere when you listen to it?  Does it make you cry, make you laugh, make you want to punch a hole in the sky? If you think it is good, I will make it better.  The next steps when you leave Traina Studios are your own.  While you are here, lets make your sound.  Thats' right, Your Sound.  Not Barry Whites' sound.  Not like Metalica.  Make it your own.  Take it somewhere no one has taken it before.  I will help you make it better. Making music better is what we do.  Traina Studios.  Built by musicians.  Built for musicians to make music the way you want.  Not corporate sound, no limits.  Absolutely no limits.  We will make it better. If you want an average record, take it somewhere else.  We are open by appointment only.  When we are recording an artist.  The focus is all about them.  No people walking through.  No telephones ringing.  No women naggin' you to get your ass home.  All about the songs. Follow the link and leave me your information.  Sign up for the news letter.  I will teach you a lot about music if you want to know.  My phone number is there.  Set up an appointment.  You need to think about what you want.  You will have to book the studio time before you enter it.  If you want to make music your life.  I can help you get the music right. Peace. Dewight Traina Owner of Traina Studios

Why are you in the music business?

One of the Hardest business adventures to make money in.  The Musc Business.
Why are you in the music business?  Is it because you always wanted to play an instrument?  Is it because you thought being a rock star looked like a cool life?  Is it because you want to travel the world?


Like many other things people do, maybe you don't know why you play music in local clubs until 2am.  Why you drive in a car for 20 hours to a bar where you play for 30 minites. Why you recorded a demo record.  Why you had to have T-shirts made with your band logo on them.  Why for months you are on the road from one town to the next and have no money, no place to live.  You have not had a shower in a week.  All seems crazy doesn't it.


Some of us crazy people would not trade it for any other job out there.  We know it is just what we are supposed to be doing.


Now this has nothing to do with actually planning and seeking to earn a living playing music.  Hundreds of great musicians I have worked with, haven't a clue how to manage a check book, create a business case or many other things it takes to turn music into a career.


That is, in part, why I started Traina Studios.  The first starving artist I ever met was my dad.  Him and many of my other music partners have died way too soon in this crazy world we call THE MUSIC BUSINESS.


I am almost 48 years old.  Still there is nothing other than being in the music business that I want to do.  I love recording music, playing live, and a hundred other reasons that music is my life.


Until a few years ago, I did not think a career in music was possible.  You needed some 'Lucky Break' or had to know someone in the business for that to happen.


Times are changing.  We have to change with them.


If music is you passion and you would like to work with a team that truly care about music and the musicians who play it.  Come to my recording studio and lets talk.  I want to help you succeed.  Unfortunately you must want to succeed at it also.


Dreams don't become reality without hard work and dedication.


Recording, Mixing and Mastering your next CD is a good place to start.  Next a business plan and a million other things I can think of but one step at a time.


If you have a song that you want to capture and you think it is the greatest song you have ever heard.  Bring it to us.  We will make it even better.


We are all about one thing.  Making good songs.  Focus on that before you focus on being MR Rock Star.
