Yeah that’s exactly why I want to build one offsite and have a business partner. I’d certainly let some friends use the studio when it’s not booked, but we plan on making it a business. Ideally he’ll get good enough at tracking that I can focus on mixing, but I’ll still be really hands on for the first couple years I’m sure.
No, mine would be full of friends, friends of friends, strangers who claim they're friends of friends, and the other assorted riffraff.
It's just what'd eventually happen. I know it as much as I know 1 + 1 = 2.
I've seen it before - even when it started off as a 'business'. It just happens.
At least you know what you’re in for!
My retarded ass is still going to probably build it.
My plan is to put it a goodly distance away (I have ample land for this) and then to lease it out to a couple of engineers who can then find/bill their own clients when I'm not personally in the studio working on something.
But, my plan keeps changing.
It was supposed to be done this spring, but I had other building activities and obligations. So, it was put off for at least a year. I've not yet made any plans for it to go up this coming spring. We'll see...
