OK we decided to scrap the three separate rooms....not doing a 'box in a box' as building is as quiet as a mouse (essentially a concrete bunker)....we are going back to a large tracking room idea....console in same room....other than separate drum room and iso/vocal booth....rose coloured glasses off....finished business plan....so trimming costs in big way....we have a friend working with us....did several big studios....mostly of that open concept....
Plan is to build production suite upstairs....maybe expand eventually to Dolby ATMOS (which we can)....send tracks after initial mix while recording....via Merging Technologies Horus via Ravenna....do full mix ITB....then print...
Going with less expensive but fully functional analog console....
We hope to be up and running by September....
