"Tom McCauley is at the mixing board of a home recording studio as Corey Allen plays piano. Some experts estimate that half of the L.A. area's commercial studios have closed or been sold to artists for private use."

One glaring mistake in that article is that Apples pro recording software is not Garageband (that's the consumer stuff that comes free) but Logic Audio.

Sure, a single acoustic instrument can sound great in a living room.

A live drum kit not so much…

Personally I find the best sounding records heave been recorded 'as live' ie everybody in the same room at the same time and that is what we are going to loose. At least from bands and artists who have a limited budget. The biggest acts will always have the choice to do what they like, including months at Ocean View or Abbey Road. It's the mid-sized artist who are going to suffer.
Again sadly those tend to be the musically more interesting.
