There are quite a few recording studios in Chicago. You can find studios in most big cities, and a city that size will have tons upon tons of studios. I am a fan of Rax Trax. It's a few blocks from Wrigley.
There is a great recording studio called Underground Sound. It is actually built in someone's home but has commercial studio equipment so you can get what you need at a lower rate.
No not really. You will have to keep them out of the studio, or get a noise filtering system.
this is the basic feather for laptops. Laptops can easily support the music and recording applications and also best for any format of music files and videos.
Not at all. Most positions in the music industry don't require any degrees. The music business is more about what you can do and who you know. Anyone can purchase the software and gear needed to record and edit music and anyone can sell the music they have recorded and edited. There are schools that you can go to and get certificates saying that you have been trained in recording arts but you don't need it to get a job in the music industry. I went to one of these schools and walked away with an internship at a studio. While on my internship they brought on another intern whos only experience was recording his band. We both did the same things, the difference was, I was in a lot of debt because of schooling. If you are interested with getting into recording, get yourself some gear and start recording. Study up and learn all the principles and record anyone you can. Build your knowledge and skills and then get in touch with studios and try to gain an internship. Schooling will get you a little step forward, but that doesn't mean much.
to get an agent for the music industry, you need to get together a music portfilio, and from there try to set up an interview with any music recording company, if you are good enough, then one will practically work for you
Considering that recording studios sell special versions of their songs, licensed to be use for TV, radio, movies, etc. I would have to say no, it is not legal to download music from the internet (from any service or program) and use on a radio show, internet or otherwise.
I haven't seen or heard of any, although I am planning on recording it myself soon. Really nice piece!
No, but any sound recording of a performance of Grieg's music may still be copyrighted according to when it was created and the laws of the country where it was produced. For example, in the USA, any recording published prior to 1972 is copyrighted until 2067 when state copyright laws become preempted by federal copyright.
I believe the only age restrictions are that of any other job. I think in the US its around 16 or something like that to legally work. The chances of getting a job at a recording studio when you are that young is slim to none unless you know someone or have family in the industry. Recording studios have millions of dollars worth of gear and are hesitant to let someone that doesn't know what they are doing around. You could possibly get an internship and be a runner or something like that and work your way up. I would suggest young people that are interested in recording to get some gear and start recording at home to get to know the basics and build some experience, and then contact studios for an internship.
Responsibilities.. do you mean what members need to do in a band? or? Well, first of all a vocalist is important as well as a guitarist or two with a bassist and we also need a drummer (or rarely a drum machine) but I don't think this answers the question. Responsibilities of a band member may include dealing with a record contract for distributing the music, contacting concert managers to play on tours/gigs, contacting recording studios to produce music or recording in-house by the band itself. Practicing the music as a cohesive whole is also important and advertising/"getting your band out there" among other things. Basically the same responsibilities a member would have in any band.
No, Oklahoma is landlocked.
