Hi RBP,The business models for recording studios are not the same now as they were 20 or 30 years ago, that's for sure. But then again, they were different 20 years ago from what they were 40 years ago, too; it's just that the trends then have continued. The economic viability of a recording studio has been diluted by all the project and personal studios. And these days, even a typical rehearsal studio often has a recording facility sharing its roof, as an additional service to offer the clientele.
The increased affordability of equipment has "democratized" audio recording, so to speak, for good and for bad. There are more recordings available now than ever, the number of major labels has shrunk, and mediocrity has multiplied. Is the way to get ahead in this environment to be cheaper or to be better? I think the latter choice, though hard, still offers better options than the former.
The original poster has something marketable to pay the bills while he explores ways to enter the recording field. A lot of people trying to get into it do not and have unrealistic employment expectations as well.
