Kinda tough to answer that...seems to me that anything you do (including rearranging the furniture) is going to be modifying the house for recording....
Not a house turned into a COMMERCIAL STUDIO, is what i said. I am just talking about a house whos only pupose is to record the one band who scoped it out, and then after they are finished it returns to normal duties of a house.
Lets not be sticklers and say "technically any house with X amount of gear is a . . . if anyone records there"
Yeah I forgot to mention Whatever and Ever Amen. What a great vibe to that album. It doesn't hurt that Andy Wallace mixed it either! That was recorded in a house in Chapel Hill NC.
Also thats a great point about older houses. Plaster walls, high ceilings, and very often irregular shaped rooms. Also you typically get hardwood floors and walls with little to no insulation.
Great responses BTW. Keep 'em coming
