Recording and mixing in the same room. Advice from experience needed.
We are currently putting together a project space, and as space is limited, we've decided to maximize acoustic space in one room instead of making a small control room and a small live room (I've been under the impression that this is the best way to go rather than two compromised rooms).
However, I'm concerned about monitoring and workflow. Among other things, I'm guessing quality headphones will have to play somewhat of a role when placing mics correctly, right? Is trusting headphones acceptable or simply neccessary?
Anyway, any and all suggestions from people who've learned to function in this type of environment is greatly appreciated. Knowing what to avoid, and will make life easier from the outset will help greatly. Thanks!
Will
