I don't have a formal home recording studio, but I can record tracks on my computer upstairs in my office.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My home studio is my private instrument for me only. It's not intended to record anyone but me.
There is a whole aspect of freedom to recording at home that you don't get in a studio. The possibilities are infinite, and there is no reason not to explore them.
All my vocals were recorded at home, which was great for me. You can actually have a studio in a computer program called ProTools. I did half the record with ProTools.
I can record auditions from my office in my home.
My son and I run a string company, and he has a studio there, and I go down sometimes and we'll record.
I'll probably have to open a recording studio at some point because I won't be able to pay the bills.
I'm always working on new songs. With the technology these days, any idiot can record on Pro Tools on your laptop. All you have to do is plug a microphone into the input jack and anybody can have their own recording studio. So I'm always down in my basement, singing along to riffs or whoever I'm collaborating with.
I don't like recording studios - except my own, which is just a little room above the garage.
I'm a huge fan of home recording. I think it levels the playing field. You don't need $100,000 to record a studio CD.
I now have a home recording studio, which I can operate entirely on my own, as well as a portable version of the same which allows me to record anywhere I like and simply swap out the hard drives for use in the home studio.
