Everything but drums and chants were recorded at mine.

Here's an example of my drum recording. Excuse timing issues, I played everything myself. Aklso, better drum mics are coming...

Feasible as a budget studio? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I was initially thinking of club acts with their own backing tracks to come and record vocals... |
Football song is a bit naff, but technically seems well recorded
Other song sounds good for such a modest set-up, vocals are very decent, natural and clean sounding, guitars good too. Drums are probably where you will struggle to get 'pro' results in a small boxy room, they're not terrible, but they are probably a bit of a let down compared to the rest. You need to try and get some ambiance on them, room micing etc. Maybe try a distance mic up on the stairs with the door open, to give the impression of some space. Some plug-in reverb might help, but i'd take it steady, as over cooking that will make them sound 80's.
I think you'll get some good results doing semi-pro work there, particularly if it's laying vocals down over backing tracks, without the need to record instruments where you are looking for capturing distance micing and room acoustics.
