I am building a new room in oakland. It will be in a 2000sf freestanding building. I have hired a studio designer/acoustician well known in the recording world for his designs. I am hoping that there are enough freelance engineers out there who appreciate the necessity of a great tuned room and monitor system.

More and more, I see folks doing most of the work @ their home studio + bringing files to my place (commercial, ghetto studio ina warehouse) to do the final sweetening/mixing/mastering/whatever.

My room right now probably isn't much better than what they have in their house, but I keep a lot of good outboard around and have a few sets of speakers.

I see this as a good studio model for the future. If you can offer things that can't be found in a computer or purchased on a visa, then you have something to sell.
If you have a lot of recording credits or maybe even a hit song or have been in a band with any popularity, then you can sell your personal skills as well.
