Hi Grace. You must have enjoyed your experience at Jim's studio. It looks just like a studio, and it accommodates many people at once. A nice big mixing board and racks of blinking lights is a must for young bands to have an immersive social experience. And there are certainly bigger and flashier recording studios than that. It's like a big buffet: there is only so much you can eat.
I don't have any attraction to big studios anymore. It's a consequence of being kept isolated and destitute for so many years: I've become stuck in my ways, and I totally intend to keep this attitude about studio work until I die. Should you go back to the big recording studios, Grace? It's more important that you get the recording equipment and figure it out yourself. You will find that music production is a lot like video production, except that you mostly use your 2 ears. And Grace Bowers has magic ears.
That big grilled beef buffet in the video above isn't for me, even if it were halal. I envy Argentina for being so plentiful in beef, but that restaurant in the video uses too much salt. It's nice to indulge sometimes, but all that salt would ruin my meal. I would rather spend the money on a nice cut of beef and cook it myself.
