Home Recordings vs Studio's

With all the great software and high quality gear available to musicians, many have started to record at home. The results can be quite good but usually home recordings run into a few common problems that only studios can solve. The first problem that musicians run into recording at home is controlled environments. Many home studios have too much ambient noise and or reflections. This really becomes evident when mixes are brought up to volume. The second problem is sweat equity. Musicians doing home recordings have put most of their practice hours perfecting their instrument not in recording and mixing music. Professional studios  have engineers that have put their sweat equity into the craft of audio , which to them is their "instrument".  Hope to see you in the studio !
