agree

Noni Gilbert Riley: A good explanation

1 hr

-> Thanks, aceavila!

neutral

Mark Berelekhis: This is a rehash of Aceavila's answer. She did explain the meaning of the term, even if she didn't realize that the artists are doing this production for themselves.

1 hr

-> Sorry, Mark, your comment doesn't seem to make any sense and is off-topic. Again, what's wrong with my suggestion? As for aceavila's suggestion, she obviously meant a studio working for artists, which isn't the case in this context.

agree

William [Bill] Gray: They probably needed a little technical assistance, but otherwise produced it themselves at home.

13 hrs

-> Thanks, Bill! Not literally at home in this case, but it was still a "home-studio recording".
