You got me confused at this part. As a label, you'd charge the producer for the use of the facility?
no the label gives the artist/their management a budget to go out and rent studio time
most studios have two to three room available
that's why
Kurt Franklin could be recording in one room and Lecrae could be recording in another room
now to keep cost down you could always have the your beats ready and songs wrote
and having beats ready means you have the trackouts ready to be loaded up in the studio's DAW of choice
there was a time when songs were wrote,instrumentals were made(session players hired),song recorded and song mixed all in one sessions
with additional sessions for things that needed to be finished up
these could be over 1-2 or over a span of two weeks for one song
but things can be do in a shorter run
that's why I told you before you need to research audio engineering in general so you know how these things run
but like I said on
Gearslutz.com it's full of audio engineer ppl who recorded Michael Jackson,Wu-Tang,Britany Spears...
I wouldn't go over there asking random questions like this though
as you can use the search button on the site and learn a ton just by reading older threads
here are a couple of studio built by gearslut memebers
12th Street Sound -- Austin, Texas -- Construction Thread - Gearslutz.com
Garage Studio Build - Gearslutz.com
when I want to talk audio engineering and tracking/mixing equipment I'm on gearslutz.com
and I'm here on this forum
learning from ppl like Moses and Krushing/Foggy/MorningStar/Chris Carter/Himbeats
this is the section to be in with it comes to studio stuff
for me anyway
this is more like the gossip section with some great information threads here and there(once in a blue moon)

I also enjoy this site as well
John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum • Index page
going with a private home studio owner will be cheaper in most cases
but you'll have to make sure the (home studio owner)
the person tracking your artist knows what they are doing and has a decent acoustic treated room
(you may hire them to mix your artist(s) work as well or use another audio engineer to do that)
build relationship with tracking/mixing engineer now get to know their work
and you need to make sure to get the best performance out of your artist(s)
some artists are still wet behind the ear(don't know anything about recording)
so you may need to send them through a recording studio bootcamp and show them studio etiquette the first few times they are in the studio
the tracking engineer can assist you as well
hope this helps you
in your adventure
