Thanks for the reply. One more... I could try his home studio and ears and also a 'real' studio that I have used, although, the real studio would cost more.

Question is... if I record a song, (maybe two?), at each in the manner described and choose the one that I will do the rest of the songs based on that... is there any problem with using the tracks from the 'loser?' Anything I need to know about audio format so that the tracks could be used by another engineer? I don't know if 'mastering' is required for a finished product... if it is 'required' for a low-budget c.d. but perhaps, a low-budget mastering session is possible?
