Jim,

I think you are confusing recording your own album versus a pitchable demo to another artist. Remember in the US, songs recorded as "DEMOS" can not be sold -- they are recorded under lower recording $$ rates and can only be used as non-commercial demos (though I think you can enter them in contests ??). There are other union rates for limited sales and then full blown masters. Same musicians, same songs -- different rates.

So getting back to your point. If you are doing your own album -- find the best studio for you. If you plan on pitching to a Nashville artist then a nashville studio makes sense. Especially if you go there and start making connections.
