In any case all the studios I have been in did seem to comprise of rooms, I suppose there may be an outdoor studio somewhere (California?)but I doubt it. Even if you are making a typical multi-track recording you will still have a number of acoustic instruments, drums, vocal, piano, acoustic guitars, brass, woodwind, all of which will need to be recorded in a room whose acoustic you will hear on playback. Do you want the piano on Sympathy For The Devil to be in the acoustic it was recorded in or sound like it is in your living room? One is high fidelity, the other isn't.
But the acoustic it was recorded in may have been manipulated to sound different - reverb, acoustic effects, damping etc?
