Buying into name brands
Everything is marketing today, though most people don't realize how much they are controlled by the media. Does this mean that everything you hear and see on tv is the best quality? Of course not, it just means that the product has a big budget behind it and the means to get marketed. Radio is just that: marketing. Not every song that is a hit song on the radio is a great song, they are just marketed properly. I can go on about the media but it also applies to the gear we buy. Protools is not the best program out there, but they are the most popular. There are other programs that are as good as, and in some areas superior to Protools but do not have the marketing resources that PT does. My advice is to shop and do your homework, don't just buy what everyone else does because of its popularity. Make an educated purchase based on features you like or want in the gear you buy. Not always is the most expensive product the best. Do some homework and you may get more bang for the buck.0

My advice to aspiring vocal talent
Most of the singers that I have interviewed over the years have come into the studio looking for something that they hear in their head, missing out on the opportunity that I've presented to them. Singers and musicians should be looking for any and all opportunities to get themselves the right kind of exposure and whatever might get them to the next level. The days of sending in your voice on a cassette/CD hoping that you'll get a $250K advance are gone. There are tens of thousands of studios out there and you've got to interview studios and producers to pick the right one, not just because it's the studio closest to your house.0
