"Why should I go to RockstarDave instead of someone else?"
Hopefully the rest of this FAQ will show you what is available and how everyone -- your band and your fans -- can benefit. I strive to keep open communication throughout the course of every project. My no-games approach will assure you that things will progress timely and properly. But the best way to find out what I can do for you -- is to see for yourself.
"My band is still growing and we do not have much money."
Technically this is not a question but it is a valid concern. If your band is lucky enough to be starting from scratch I could easily be your one-stop solution; you'll need all the basics. I've got the basics down. I'll set you up with a gig and record it. Then I'll mix it down for your demo. Then I'll make you a website. That means you are a band that's ready to kick some ass!
"So then do you have a package deal or something?"
Sure do! There's nothing I'd rather be doing than RockstarDave work, so take advantage of that. The most popular packages are Live Sound + Recording and Website + Demo, but its up to you, since any package will save you at least $50. Why not visit the packages page? Or at least shoot me an email to arrange something?
"What kind of gear do you use?"
I could talk about that all day. But to answer this question directly, I have a whole page.. Click here.
"Why do you claim to be so affordable?"
For your ease of mind, everything is designed to be recoupable. I know how important it is to get the best for your dollar. Utilizing RockstarDave services should help you not only get what you need, but can even help you come out on top! Even better than that though, is the package you can put together. You should really check the packages page if you want to get something for almost nothing.
"Why not settle down and pick between recording, booking, web design, and sound reinforcement?"
I am not ready to settle down. Keeping busy with music is my preferred business.
"How long have you been doing this stuff?"
I started web design as a serious endevour at Rochester Institute of Technology in 1999 and have been actively building my skills since then. Once I started school at SUNY Fredonia in 2002 as a music-business major I quickly grew into audio engineering, music production, and booking.
"What got you into music?"
There are countless concerts that I have attended; I have always felt that music is one of the best things to spend money on. Music is able to evoke feeling and pure primal passion in a way that no other medium can. Why wouldn't I want to surround myself with music?
"What's your favorite genre of music?"
Too many to list! I enjoy everything from rock to roots, jazz to jam, and plenty more.
"Why won't you return my emails / phone calls?"
I always return emails and phone calls -- you must have sent to the wrong address or dialed the wrong number.
"Don't you think you should start a referral promotion?"
What a good idea! If you like what I have done for you already then spread the word. I just started up a referral promotion. Check it out here.
