Peter,


I completely agree that there is magic with all the musicians in the same room and I worked that way for many years.


As you know, the industry and the budgets have changed and now the projects i work on can't afford to fly in a world-class musician. So, the choices are to bring in someone local who may or may not do as good of a job as the major session guy I wanted or I can use eSession and record my parts ala carte...


To throw out a metaphor.. Sometimes I want to get in my car and go to Barnes and Noble and buy a Starbucks and browse the books for an hour or two and sometimes I just wanna get on Amazon and have a book delivered to my door. The world definitely benefits from the convenience of Amazon but by no means does it replace the vibe of being in a brick and mortar bookstore... you get the point....


I know that eSession will never replace the magic of traditional recording, but with the advances in technology and the state of the industry, I genuinely hope that eSession can happily and successfully co-exist with conventional standards and simply give people an alternative IF and WHEN they need it.


Most of us in the music industry are hurting right now and I am hoping eSession will sincerely help these incredibly talented session musicians and engineers who have fewer and fewer sessions these days. At the same time, I am hoping people around the world benefit from hiring them.


thanks for the feedback. Come try out the site. I do personal tours every day at 2PM. It will blow you away, I promise.


Thanks again,
