It depends on how often he wants to record. Years ago I'd record in a Pro studio ($85 an hour). Cost me about 4-$500 a song. Always felt that money clock tickin'. Often I'd settle with a less quality production just to save money.

With a DAW set-up, James can record whenever he wants and however long he wants. He won't feel that money clock tickin". He'll be able to take his time and get it right. Even if it takes weeks. grin

Best, John smile


John that is absolutely spot on. I've used DAW's for 10 years now. Started of with Cakewalk and progressed into the good stuff to up my game. I've recorded songs at studios. It's bloody expensive and you feel pressured to get things done in a shorter time just to save money. I also found that even when it sounded amazing but bring it back to the real world & it didn't sound any better than what I could create at home in fact it was a little dull.
Unless you can find a really good studio that just feels so natural to be in I would invest In your own gear. Much more satisfying and after 10 years I've saved a packet! If you listen to my stuff and imagine a small bedroom 10 by 6 with the gear listed above you'll know my reality.

Take care
