What's the best recording studio in Los Angeles? Where would you record your debut project?

[Buckeye Fever]

Audio Evolution app
A shoebox
Coffee filter
Place phone under bed in shoebox
Tape coffee filter to your nose
Lay on the floor
Rap clearly under the bed

Its all about equipment and who mixes it.. take this for example

but if I was a signed recording artist (I'm currently an unsigned one), I don't have to always be at a real studio to feel like I'm going to work.. I guess its a difference in opinion. As long as I'm doing some type of recording, I'd already feel like I'm "at work" regardless of if it was a home studio or Hit Factory in Miami. If I'm on my own budget, I'd prefer the home studio route thinking long term but if I had a label budget, I'd prolly get a couple sessions in in a real studio solely for potentially bumping into ppl I'd prolly wanna collab with.

I'm not from LA.. sorry I can't give any insight in that regards but just wanted to give my 2 cents.

I would just rec and mix at home and send the wav files to a mastering studio..abbey road in England does that online and it's not that expensive

Yes, I can. I'm a former reality TV show celebrity. I don't have the ability to commit to a home studio at this point. The upstart is too much and quality results would be far off, I'm looking for the best

I agree... I record at home myself and its much more convenient..... I'm not the type to pay x amount per hour and I'm not even comfortable with how I said a verse after 1 hour (cuz that'd be a waste of money).... I'd rather record on my own and send to somone to mix it down once its how I want it

Plus half the songs you think are good come out bad after you record em cuz you thought they were good when you wrote em ..that's what I meant by spending hella money at the studio cuz half those songs are gonna be throwaways

Exactly... I have a homeboy who recorded 3 tracks at a studio and after 1 week wasn't even comfortable with how he laid his vocals after paying to record em.... better off getting a home studio or a decent enough mic unless you end up with an album budget because paying an hour to get a song EXACTLY how you want it is difficult.. I don't even care if its rehearsed, you may imagine it a different way after rehearsing a verse and hearing the recorded version for the 1st time
