Frankly, the program was so incredible it seemed almost too good to be true. But rest assured, there are no catches. Converse Rubber Tracks will select six Texas bands to\u00a0receive\u00a0absolutely free studio time, no strings attached, at a facility in Austin during SXSW. These bands will have an opportunity to use the studio time however they’d like and will have access to a talented producers and engineers, as well as top-notch recording facilities. We spoke with bands that decided to use the time to polish off tracks they’d already been working on and begin mastering. Another group decided to focus only on one song to get the best single possible completed. Other bands might start from scratch to get demos of new songs sketched out. The bands get to choose.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this valuable studio time, Converse Rubber Tracks has announced that Spoon’s Britt Daniel will help to select a local band to mentor over a special two-day session in the studio. This year will mark the first year that Converse Rubber Tracks will be held at 12th Street Sound, located at\u00a02205 E 12th S | Austin, TX 78702. Okay, you’re sufficiently convinced (why wouldn’t you be?). How do you apply?
