I think Vintage Synth Museum's rate of $25 a day is perfect and they let you bring in a recording setup so you can lay down some tracks. I haven't been to the Museum yet, live in the wrong city, but it always has people in there noodling around from their daily instagram vids. Honestly I would love to see a similar setup here in LA. I'm sure they'd have more visitors than the Oakland location. $350 for a week, I'd have to be writing for a project and could bill the client for that cost.

Occasionally you see a person on CL advertising rental= synth studio time but it just seems kind of weird. Maybe because synths ar= e associated with a person's bedroom. Hopefully that wasn't a credit card p= urchase and others will pay it off type thing. Again, I could be wrong. may= be 22 people are willing to shed $350 to play with a synth. > > > Wednesday, October 3, 2018 6:21 PM -04:00 from Jason Proctor <xxxxx@xxxxx= sh.net>: > > > ja, but it's $350 a week, not per hour :-) > > > > On Wed, Oct 3, 2018 at 3:13 PM, stephen watson via analogue <xxxxxxxx@xxx= erreal.org> wrote: > > I would pay to play around with one or sample synths - not $375 an hour. = For that type of money I could do a small run of one of those lathe cut rec= ords cut vinyl records advertised on CL. > > > Sincerely, > Stephen Watson > https://myspace.com/sabstractrecords > > > > > Sincerely, > Stephen Watson > https://myspace.com/stevepwats313hyperreal > > > > > Sincerely, > Stephen Watson > https://myspace.com/stevepwats313hyperreal > > > > Sincerely, > Stephen Watson > https://myspace.com/stevepwats313hyperreal
