Hello all.

I was wondering if there is such a place where one could go to rent time on recording equipment and DAWs? For example, a medium-end setup with advanced audio interfaces, several DAWs (like Pro Tools, Logic, Live, Cubase, Sonar), mics, plugins, beats, vocal booth, etc. where I could just bring my guitar, or just work on electronic music like Dubstep. But NOT a high-end recording studio with the 48,000 track board and everything.

I am basically thinking about a level or two up from what a single beginning musician would have in their home. Enough to make a demo CD maybe. I was thinking it would be cheaper if you are just starting out, rather than having to worry about buying your own AI and software. Is it worth it to rent? Do these lower-end places exist? And, I'm not talking about going over to someone's house who bought nice equipment, although that's what I'm thinking people do (i.e. GuitarCenter employees). But are there "mini studios"?

Thanks.
