Why is it that every goober with an m-box and a pair of cheap KRKs think
they can offer studio time? I can't even count how many ads like this I see
on Craigslist. Worse are the ones offering Mastering services, with the same
gear plus a couple of pieces of foam glued to the wall.
And then there's the Producers - apparently if you put together a few songs
at home with the above gear you get to say "I do a little Producing on the
side". Of course if you took the time to register a trademark name you can
claim you have a publishing company, etc.
What makes it aggravating beyond the obvious stupidity, is that it's so
prevalent that it dilutes the real meaning of the words. Selling studio
services implies that you actually have a studio - as in a real room for
recording and not the spare bedroom. Publishing means you actually publish
songs - which in turn are copyrighted, etc. Producing means that you're
actually producing music for distribution in some form. And if you want to
claim that you are a Professional at any of these then you're actually
making some amount of income from it.
Maybe I'm just too old.

Probably too observant.
