when I was working on my last CD... I was in the habit of recording some acoustic guitar tracks at home (KorgPXR4) , then bringing them to the 'Studio' and transferring to the other set-up, flat, no FX.... for future use... In the beginning the engineer was skeptical, kinda a techno chauvinism, also bit nervous about the fact that I could do a lot in my own way and in my own time... so he wasn't too crazy about the process.... but after working on the project on and off for around 5 months.... when we came to mix... he was asking me if this guitar was recorded here or at home... I got him good !.... plus I knew from day one what I was up to, where the strengths and limitations were of each environment.... not the 1st engineer that I've had fun with in this way.... sometimes, if it's someone that I haven't worked with before, I just say that I bought a cool tuner and a studio came with it.... so it's mix and match and have fun with it.... oh no, where did I leave the studio ???? hope you're not sitting on it, man....
