ABSTRACT
The purpose of this book has been to explain the business aspects of operating a recording studio of almost any size and niche, be it in your garage or a postproduction facility in a 50,000 square foot space. In addition, I have attempted to advise you about where our professional audio industry is going and how it is going to get there, but only in the near term. I have also tried to suggest how to stay ahead of your competition by working smarter not harder. It's called common sense. Recently, a reporter from one of our leading trade magazines called me for a quote about where I think the audio industry is going to be in ten years. I laughed, because I think it is formidable to even think about where it will be in three to five years from now, because it changes so quickly.
