To clarify again what Spencer said, ANYONE can be a member of eSession and hire ANYONE regardless of credits. However, we do have an elite tier of members that we call eTalent who are professional musicians and engineers. We have almost 800 eTalent members and over 3500 regular member and growing daily. So you can hire anyone, pro or not. If anyone has any questions, fire away. thanks again, Gina Greetings,

Greg, you need the major album credits to be listed as an "eTalent" member, but part of what makes esession "for all" is that it makes it a lot easier for anyone to find and hire top studio players, and the other part is that anyone can join the members' talent database.

Looks like a nice system though. I’m not sure how it qualifies for ‘Online Recording For All’ when you need 15 major album credits to be part of the talent pool. Looks like a nice system though.

I think you picked on the wrong guy there... that's Pat Mastelotto, drummer with Mr. Mister, XTC, King Crimson, and a lot of sessions and electronic projects e.g. mastica, TU, Centrozoon. Just about the best mixer of acoustic and electronic drums (& sequencers) around today. 8) The picture?
