We are in a similar spot. I had MTV call me yesterday and I had to turn down the work because I cant afford the monthly bill for a patch in line. The problem is that I cant attract any bigger album projects in this little basement so I cant afford the 150 monthly for the patch in so I cant work with MTV(not that that is a great achievement). I had the discovery network book a session for an entire day. They got here and walked right back out because it was to small for the video shoot. NPR called me in the last month or so and I had to turn them down too. So I am trying right now to sell this house/studio and move just outside the city and build a studio that will be taken more seriously so I can take these bigger named little sessions and afford "The Patch In". Its a gamble but not really. I built this place studio33recording from the ground up and can do a bigger one. Ive done a bunch of classical work out here and want to have a place to fit them in. I cant wait to design the place.

I love reading the posts about your gear! I learned on a Neve VR with the flying faders in school from Jeff Harris who used to be at The Village in LA. Loved it! The room sounded like crap though(it was too shallow). So what did I do? I grabbed chairs from every room on campus and piled them up behind me when I was mixing to break up the sound in the room. It totally worked. Every instructor that heard the room when it was like that agreed that its gave the room a way better sound. I was able to work in there way longer than the other students because my ears werent getting boxed by bad modes. That board had its issues but we had a good tech and it sounded amazing.
