When I first started working at StudioPros, I wasn’t aware of online recording and how easy it was to collaborate online. Like you, I was skeptical of the… [Read More]
I first met this month’s featured artist, Tim Tye, in early September of this year. Tim is a lawyer from Dayton, Ohio, in his day to day life, and a songwriter in his free time. He called inquiring about StudioPros and exactly what it is we’re all about.

Depending on the type of video production you’re going for, you can hand hold your camera (producing a slight “shaky” cam type shot) or put your camera on a tripod for a more steady solid shot. If you’re going for the more raw hand held look, try to steady the camera as much as… [Read More]
Making a music video clip used to be something that only major label artists would do. Today, just like recording your own song at home or online, it’s easier than before to shoot your own music video. Follow these guidelines in creating your music video: 1. The core of a good music video is a good story. Develop the idea that you’d like the music video to be based off of. Think of a concept that you can have that will… [Read More]
