Where I often record tracks as a sideman is a neat little setup made from an unused two-car garage. He has the room-in-a-room, acoustically isolated from the outer building, and that's divided into two parts: control room/lounge, and recording area with mics etc. In the recording area, he further has a room-within-that-room small isolation booth for a solo recording, voice-overs etc. That last small room is very small, maybe four or five feet square.

ps Congrats on retiring. I decided to do that twelve years ago, so I could concentrate on music, put out a CD, and see what would happen from that. One of the best choices I ever made. I would never have been able to do that while running a college.
