Hi all,
In your home studio, do you ever find yourself putting off recording because of an impending improvement? Like a backordered piece of new gear that you'd rather wait for, or that updated computer that you've been meaning to get, or that acoustical treatment that you've been meaning to install?
In my case, we're planning to finally finish the basement where my "studio" is. Concrete walls on 3 sides, just framing on the 4th, no treatment, awful acoustics...but I've never let that stop me from recording and mixing down there. But now the prospect of actually having walls that I can treat, corners that I can trap, an actual room that I can set up from the inside out...that's made me really reluctant to actually lay down any of the ideas that I have. I find myself holding out for a finished room and a treated space. It's gonna be such an improvement (especially psychologically), I can't seem to work up the motivation to go record in a reverbarant, cold, damp basement when I know that it'll be so much more hospitable and acoustically sound in the next 6 months.
Heck, I haven't even been listening to the MP3 Mixing Clinic lately either. I feel like my listening environment is so crappy that my opinions on mixes is pretty much null and void.
