I gave those lists the quick once over...
What's the "goal" of the studio? What genre of music are they looking to do?
If it's rock/pop/blues (aka real live music) then they either don't have enough or will have
just enough to pull off those kinds of sessions.
If they're shooting for dance/hip-hop/etc. then they don't need all those mics & the killer headphone system.
Seems like it's kinda 'directionless' to me, but they've got all the "buzzwords" covered so I'm sure they'll have a killer ad campagin for the local rags.
Anyway, I'd call Tony before going back to Guitarget...that's just based on years of having to deal with Guitarget and it really sounds they need all the help they can get.
Plus I gotta ask...who's doing the room design & construction?
Who's going to run & manage the place once it's built?
Have they found or do they know engineers to staff the place and run the sessions?
Not that I'm trying to piss in their Fruit Loops or anything, but aquring the gear is the
easiest part of setting up a real living breathing & full functional recording studio.
I wish 'em luck,
