I've been researching different ways to save money while still ending up with a "pro" mix using a combination or a professional studio and a home studio. I recently started looking up whether it is more beneficial to record in a studio and mix at home or do just the opposite.
Assuming that:
1. The professional studio you are using has high quality mics, preamps, and a talented, experienced engineer
2. Your home studio has medium to high quality consumer grade mics and preamps, and you are fully confident in your mixing abilities
3. Taking into account for studio monitor quality, room sound and acoustical treatment in both the tracking room and mixing room for both studios....
Which option do you feel would yield a better quality end result?
