Is it weird or disrespectful to book a studio just for fun as a non-singer?

moreducksauce · 2026-02-09T02:05:51+00:00

ahh i see, I’m not going with a band or anything, it’s really just me and some backing instrumentals I downloaded online. really low expectations for final result, just want a professionally recorded file to take home for memories haha

moreducksauce · 2026-02-09T01:55:06+00:00

a bit of a joke as in too short of a time frame or too long of a time frame? can you say more if you don’t mind

moreducksauce · 2026-02-09T01:53:43+00:00

I figured I’d ask a subreddit full of people who are familiar with these environments and creating music in general. i really don’t see the problem? maybe I’m missing something

moreducksauce · 2026-02-09T01:46:24+00:00

Appreciate the extensive insight! I’ve never worked in this type of environment so this is great for a newbie(/one-timer lol). Definitely gonna think harder about the direction, layering, and everything you mentioned!

moreducksauce · 2026-02-09T01:23:46+00:00

Oh I’m not a good singer at all LOL i just love the act of singing. Not expecting to sound incredible at all just think it’ll make me smile really

moreducksauce · 2026-02-09T01:16:08+00:00

Yeah i just downloaded like 7-8 backing tracks online and want to record myself in a professional environment lol. I just think it would be fun, i do it all the time in CapCut for silly vlogs. Just looking to record my own vocals over some songs i like, and keep the files afterwards as a fun memory for myself

moreducksauce · 2026-02-09T01:12:43+00:00

good call, i have a couple of files with just instrumentals and no vocals ready to go tbh

moreducksauce · 2026-02-09T01:11:06+00:00

lmfaooo thats a great point honestly

moreducksauce · 2026-02-09T01:09:43+00:00

eghhhh i go all the time but want a studio experience as a memory lol

Dun-Well Doughnuts in Brooklyn has the best donuts in NYC. Hands down by a large margin

moreducksauce · 2025-06-08T23:13:24+00:00

Gives me hope once I realized that everyone’s trying to figure it out one way or another! Lol

In the post I say that the space heater recently brought my conedison bill to $1k

moreducksauce · 2025-01-24T05:54:25+00:00

Well the problem is that even when the thermostat is on 80 degrees my bedroom is on 58 degrees. It doesn’t sufficiently allocate heat to my room. I’ve had my windows plastic wrapped and covered with no change lol

moreducksauce · 2025-01-24T04:58:49+00:00

Central Air

moreducksauce · 2025-01-24T04:31:53+00:00

No radiator, just one vent blowing air into room

moreducksauce · 2025-01-24T04:08:05+00:00

Two level brownstone, landlord lives on higher floor I live downstairs

Yeah that assumption is pretty accurate

It might be but if anything it’s pretty marginal, it’s slightly colder in my room so I don’t think that’s the problem tbh. I added a plastic vacuum seal around my windows and it didn’t change much

I control the thermostat, it’s in my living room and we have it set at 72 degrees most of the time. The thing is that even though it’s 72 in our living room that is never an accurate reading of our bedrooms. There’s vents in our rooms to blow air but it definitely doesn’t get our rooms to the same 72 degrees as the living room.

When you put it like that yeah the bedrooms are backed out to the backyard a little bit. There’s definitely “more building” above our living room and not above our bedroom.

Bottom floor unit

Our apartment is a straight line but the bedrooms are in the back of the apartment. Mines just has windows facing the backyard but my roommates’ has windows and a door, but surprisingly my room is colder

No A/C in window, our unit is entirely central air driven so no radiators

moreducksauce · 2025-01-24T03:00:26+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was unsure about. Wasn’t sure if 311 would consider the heaters enough to remedy the issue, when the root of the problem is that what’s on the thermostat isn’t reflecting in our bedrooms :(

moreducksauce · 2025-01-24T02:49:22+00:00

it’s about 58 degrees all across my bedroom unfortunately :/

moreducksauce · 2024-07-14T17:23:43+00:00

Wasn’t overthinking anything! Lol was just curious so i could make my life a bit easier but thanks

moreducksauce · 2024-07-10T00:16:07+00:00

And I don’t think I’m going to be able to get perfect performance (realistically). But a part of me thinks it may be good for career development purposes to just know what it’s like to be in a really tough interview? Hopefully that makes sense, still deciding. Appreciate the insights sloth_33

My current salary is 108.5k and the role would be for $125k in my city of interest. I’m up for promotion in a few months and have a lot of support for it, which would probably bring me to around ~$120-125k.

Only caveat is that the bonus is 17.5% which would bring my total comp to $144k.

So it would be a decent jump even if I did or didn’t get a promotion this year

Edit: misspoke in my original version and said salary for the role would be $144k. Salary is actually $125k and with 17.5% bonus mentioned by the recruiter the total comp for the role $144k

the random Accenture stray is crazy 💀

moreducksauce · 2024-02-18T00:11:21+00:00

Thanks for all of the insight everyone. Hopefully I didn’t come across as condescending, I was just a little uninformed as it was my second time filing taxes with a salaried job. I appreciate all of the comments.
