Hey all,
Welcome to the Portland recording group!
Some guidelines for posts: Let's try to keep to the topic of recording-related things in Portland and the Portland area, and not wander off into off-topic stuff too often. Having this sort of place as a resource and not some snarky put-down site or discussions of politics would be nice. We'd hate to see this site cluttered up with anything but people connecting and helping each other out. For some general questions, like the first few below, you may wish to try http://gearslutz.com or http://messageboard.tapeop.com/ initially. Though if you have questions relating to gear you know resides in specific studios in town this would be a good place to chat about that.

Also check out:

NW Studios: Another recording list serve for audio engineers in the Pacific Northwest. More Seattle-centric, but definitely covering the whole region in content and membership.

This group should be handy for the following stuff:

Recording Questions

Gear Questions

Studio Questions

Client Questions

Looking for Gear Rental

Buy/Sell/Trade of recording gear

Recording Event Announcements (get togethers, seminars, product showcases, AES, NARAS)

Looking for recording spaces

Finding studios for specific projects

Finding repair info/technicians

Sourcing tape or other media

Posts that would be nice to avoid:

upcoming live gigs by your band

blatant advertising of your services

musicians seeking "session work"

"What's the best vocal mic for under $100?"

Tascam 388 in Portland to rent?
