Adrian, that's all most interesting.

I'm retired now and will be composing and recording at home. We've just moved into a terraced house in a new development where the regulations forbid causing disturbance to others by singing or playing musical instruments, so I'm going to have to be careful. There's only one room in which I could sing loudly and not disturb any neighbour and it's a large loo, with a high ceiling and a good level of reverberation, but, of course, anything recorded in it would sound as recorded, as if recorded in a loo! And there's no way I could install a keyboard and recording equipment in there. So it's going to be tricky using some other room, with a reasonable acoustic but without disturbing neighbours! But maybe I can create some kind of compromise whereby I record in a fairly good space and then add a smidgeon of reverberation later on at my desk!

Thanks for your reflections!
