The only studio left in the country large enough for an orchestra or a big
band is Skywalker Sound, and that's an audio-for-film shop.

Lest you forget, Scott, right up 95 in Baltimore is Sheffield. I've done big band there, and small orchestra.

That's an educational facility... they make their money teaching classes and
sell some studio time on the side. That's a good thing, and it's one of the
ingenious ways some people have found to keep facilities open... but it is
by no means a full-service commercial studio.

Surely most 'full-service' commercial studios keep things ticking over
between significant musical recording work with audio for all sorts of
other things ?
