Austin is a great town with an impressive music scene, but there are PLENTY of studios there already and there is a lot of competition. As I had mentioned before...any city with at least several hundred thousand people with have some sort of studio infrastructure. If the goal is a mid-sized facility in a smaller media market, (as was stated in the first post of the thread), you need to bring something unique to the table. The small / mid-sized facilities that seem the busiest to me are the ones that are owned and operated by producers, which leads me to believe that location means much less than the services they provide. If you can make a go of it in Austin, by all means do it. Just be prepared to have something unique to provide to the community that sets yourself apart from the already established studios.
