Bad Axe student finds his niche recording music
Bad Axe High School senior Ian Deering plays a little guitar, but he's better known for the business he started - Dead Anatomy Records. Deering records music played by artists, works his magic, and then puts the music on a CD.
.......He said he didn't think he was talented enough on the guitar, but instead of losing interest in music, he became interested in another aspect of it - recording it.
"I started reading magazines and studying (music recording) on the Internet, and then I took it from there," he said.

"It's a learning experience for me. I just enjoy doing it, and that's worth more to me than charging people (a lot of money)," he said. "Local artists wouldn't be able to afford it. If I charged $12 an hour (like some recording studios), I wouldn't get any business."
He said his rates are $200 for a 10-song album.
Deering said he used to do things to promote the bands he recorded, such as organizing CD release parties and concerts. He decided he's going to step away from that and just focus on recording.
"One man can't do all of that," he said. "If I have my own record company some day, I can hire people to do that."
