i suppose it is Bryan.

I guess it may depend on your operating budget/finances, or perhaps the amount of work you do, with whom, and for whom. I think we can all agree that Studios like what was the Hit Factory, and the Record Plant, Sear Sound, are certainly *not* . The middle seems very wide to me- thats why i really dont think these rooms are dead at all. Bands/Artists generally go thru the whole "I can do this myself and save a crap load of $$". they then proceed to get bogged down for years since they keep re-inventing the wheel- cannot make decisions and then lose focus. Usually, they end up scrapping all or part of this, or pull in a pinch hitter to re-group. This whole process usually happens just once, and then they realize that the amount of time they spent does not equate the perceived amount of savings
