Well folks, I've had the new place open for about 3 weeks now, and I'm already 3/4 thru my second project. I had a band come in at 11 am Friday, and we recorded till 11 pm Sunday. For six songs (hard rock) we managed to do drums, bass, 2 guitars (rhythm, lead & clean) and even some vocals.
What can i say? Working in the new studio is awesome! I've never had an easier time miking things up. The real beauty is the translation of mixes! I've run off a couple of rough mixes to try out in various car stereos, and much to my surprise, what was coming across the speakers in the vehicles was what I was hearing in the control room. Imagine that. No more guesswork.
For the last 4 years in my old studio, I always had a problem with not bieng able to hear the bass properly. Then, take a mix elsewhere, and *boom* ..... instant muddy mix. This is simply NOT an issue with the new place.
I'm thrilled with the results, and better yet, the clients are thrilled as well.
I promise to put an update on my site with a full complement of pictures of the finished rooms.... just as soon as I get some time to breathe. I had an open house 3 weeks ago, and in one day I wound up booking clients for the next NINE months. I've really got my nose to the grindstone at the moment, but I'll post a link as soon as I get my website updated.
Until then,
Thank you all for the invaluable information and advice.
