Nice sounding room. I mixed some tunes recorded there last year and the tracks sounded good.
Regarding the loss of business, I had similar concerns, as a number of my clients and a few friends' bands were given studio time last year at SXSW. But as it turned out, my fears were unfounded. In one case, the band was unhappy with the mixes and booked time with me to rework them. In another, the band brought a local engineer to NYC to do the production and tracking. Those tracks were then brought back to Boston to mix at a local studio.
In these cases the Converse studio actually landed a couple gigs for us locals.
