About
JBTV Studios
Some
of you may already be familiar with JBTV from
Jerry Bryants TV music video show. He plays all
the latest and greatest videos three nights a
week with no comercials, and always has guest
musicians and bands in the studio with him requesting
videos. The show airs every Wed on "WJYS"Ch.62
at 11:00 p.m. and also airs on ch.25 "The
Loop" on Thursdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays
at 11:30 p.m. Please visit www.jbtvonline.com
to learn more about the show.
I
(Tim Rusin) was brought in by Jerry to start doing
odds and ends audio work here at the studio for
him. However, for the basis of my income I am
doing free-lance work out of his recording studio
he has here at JBTV. The studio used to be a very
busy one back in the late 70's, but was put to
rest for several years. Jerry was impressed with
my extensive knowledge of pro-tools and some of
the recordings he had heard me do in the past
including some recordings of bands I did for his
show, so he decided to completely re-equip the
studio with a new Pro-Tools HD Accel system and
a Control 24 fully automated counsel. So now I'm
working here at the studio 7 days a week. Durring
the week I am mainly doing work for Jerry, and
then I try to book up my weekends with bands to
bring into the studio to record a demo, or start
on an album. So if you want to get in get a hold
of me quick because availability is limited.
So
who am I? you might ask.. I am a 26 year old Columbia
college graduate with a Bachelors degree in audio
engineering and have been recording for about
10 years now. (7 years professionaly) I used to
run a mobile recording company called R.M.S. Recording
which was how I acheived most of my knowledge
and experience with recording music. I have worked
with several differrent bands including everything
from Rap to Death Metal. In late May of 2005 I
recorded an acoustic piece called "Was it
a dream" for Jared Letto of "30 seconds
to mars" for a live shoot on JBTV.
The
amount of care I put into every recording project
I do is almost un heard of anymore and I'm not
happy until the band/ musician is happy with the
product. Feel free to contact me with any questions
or even if you would like to set up a tour to
see the studio before we start talking business..
The
JBTV control room.. It's a very cozy control room
where I usually keep the lights down low, I like
the vibe. It's about a 20x25 ft room with plenty
of space and sitting area. This room has been
very well acoustically tuned for mixing and mastering.

Studio A is the smaller of our two spaces here
but is connected right with the control room and
the iso booth. Studio A is a pretty "dead"
sounding room, not a whole lot of reflections
going on in this room. Great room for wanting
a very dry isolated recording. The room is about
12x30 ft.
Connecting
the control room and studio A is our isolation
or vocal booth. This room is great for, well do
I really need to explain.. isolating.. the room
is about 9x15 ft
Studio
B is the live room of all live rooms! It's a whoping
5,000 sqft of wood, with 20 ft celings. The only
kinda weird thing is that it is on the third floor,
as the control room and other studio ar on the
second. I have a monitoring system all set up
though so we can not only talk to each other,
but see each other as well. I usually use this
room specifically for tracking drums, but it can
serve several other purposes as well.
Studio B also serves as a bit of a lounge which
includes a mini fridge, pool
table, and bar like tables and stools. All around
a great space and drums sound HUUGGEE up here!
