I agree.
I also think that NOTHING can replace EXPERIENCE. I think that someone, whether it be the owner or one someone in the staff , needs to have experience from the past from other successful commercial studios, to know what works and what doesn't.
A great sounding (possibly unique) room, like Bill Schnee's studio in LA as well as many others, is an area that project studios don't seem to understand the importance of.
If I were starting out, I would first commit to a great mix room or a great tracking room. I think it's financially easier to start out getting a good reputation for a good tracking room, and you don't have to have a million dollar console with loads of outboard gear, instead you can just have a DAW with LOADS of outboard gear (still very expensive).
