Home sweet recording studio...

I had an interesting thing happen today that highlights the usefulness of a home studio.

I had a recording session this morning. No big deal, drove down, the producer and engineer got everything set and we did the session. They wanted a certain read, I delivered it and everyone was happy.

Everyone but the client apparently. The client had given somewhat confusing instruction, and what they thought and the producer thought were apparently different.

So I get a call later on in the day saying "would it be possible, somehow, to get a different read from you today?"

And that's where the home studio came it. In this case, it wasn't quite in my home, but it is a studio I have access to on a regular basis and can use almost any time I need it. I was able to record the VO again, in a different style, and send the files on to the producer. And everyone is happy!

I'll see if I can get a copy of the finished product to post later!
