Home / Commercial Studio

Does recording in a commercial recording facility with some of the best equipment and 16 foot ceilings ensure that your recording will automatically sound more "commercial" than if you recorded it in a project studio? Track 11 compares a project studio demo recording to the version re-recorded and released by the record company. The 10 song home studio demo version was recorded and mixed in about 11 hours.
