Is recording demos for artists on the street a viable way to sustain long-term traveling?
I've had an idea for awhile to find high traffic areas/ places with lots buskers and set up my own spot with a "Pay what you can Recording Session" sign. Basically I will record a song, or anything really for someone using a small recording set-up, and then send it to them. At the end, I hand them an envelope where they can pay however much they like into it and I don't open it until they're gone.
I brought this up with a fellow audio tech, but he thought that it wasn't the kind of service that anyone would pay for. I'm curious if anyone else has any thoughts on this idea.
Logistically, the setup would only weigh 2.5 pounds. There's a cheap 2 pound laptop that can at least run a the software I need to use, and there are field recorders which can record decent audio, plug straight into the laptop, and only weigh .5 pounds.
The closest thing I've heard of to something like this is Smells Like Van Spirit, but obviously my operation is much smaller scale and and not meant to be studio quality. Just demos for artists to use for whatever they like.
Other ideas: youtube channel where i post the songs (with artist permission) and I could use my phone to include video and add a second mic as well.
Does this seem viable or am I kidding myself?
