[ProAudio] Prosumer gear & the home recording industry

[Corey Bailey Audio Engineering]

The Prosumer and home recording industry has been with us for awhile. 
During the mid 1970's, Jim Messina was to receive the first 1" 16Tr. 
Tascam deck imported to the West coast. Jim wanted the machine fully 
checked out before he took delivery. Since I knew what he had in his 
studio, I was given the task. Little did I know at the time, that this 
was the camel's nose under the tent. Within a couple of years, the home 
recording industry exploded onto the scene. By the late 1970's, I found 
myself getting calls to service home studios.

My $0.02,

Corey
