I doubt big studios are excited about the growth of the home studio. While most home studios aren't equipped to record music, a decent home studio makes a big recording studio unnecessary for VO...at least in most cases.

Though I make a supposition, I am engaging in a conversation "above my paygrade". I'm a mature voice so I don't even gear up for some of the broadcast market. I'm finding there is room for me in the long-form genre.
When we talk about studios, when we talk about studios that want to connect via ISDN, I "assume" studios come in two categories and some of them are hybrids of the two.
There are professional, well staffed studios who are in the recording business. They see the home studio as a competition. They get their instructions from an ad agency or some other entity: "Record this talent. He/she is remote... we don't want to pay for travel. Get on the space-age phone of your and get it done."
At the other extreme are sales people who are agents reaching out to find talent and get the job done. It would be no skin off their back if ALL talent could do their own recording at home because it is not fun paying for big city rent for real estate for a studio that sits empty part of the time. These are the folks that need to recognize that maybe the future is not ISDN.
Again, I understand that voice talent ends up dealing with people at each extreme of my examples, but probably a number of clients who are in between those extremes.... and some are in transition to sit somewhere else on that see-saw board. |

Would it be accurate to say the with the use of a "bridging company" that having SC is the same as having ISDN?
In other words, if you have SC could you not then say you have ISDN? Or, at the very least, that you are "ISDN accessible?" I mean...can the other end tell the difference?

This is a debate I've had a number of times recently - I claim to be "ISDN capable", and most seem to think this is a fair characterization without being untruthful.

| I say I can bridge with ISDN. There is a HUGE difference between having ISDN and bridging. Bridging it way less reliable, and I know people (even one of my agents) who have declared that they will NEVER use bridging because of how it looks to a client when it messes up. |

I'm planning on getting SC soon and advertising it as "SouceConnect and ISDN bridging available."

I use Source Connect about once a month now, with clients in the U.S. and Europe. Once you have solid up down speeds, it's really good.
I could be wrong, but I think that you can only do the installments payment with the "Pro" version. At least that was the case when I was purchasing the license.
I don't think you need the Pro version and no producer has ever brought it up, except when gasbagging about Source Connect and speaking about the different plans.
