Loved that. I am in this category and probably will stay there!
On a side note, I don't know if I am being too drastic but... the fact is that I grew up playing guitar in a few garage bands in middle 80s. At that time you only had two types of studio recordings: demo tapes and industry stuff (Sony, WEA, etc). Period. It really left some scars inside me. Till now, when I hear someone telling the 'pro' word referring to studio work I really cannot see it happening unless it is going to be recorded, mixed and mastered at an industry studio. Anything else -- being home recorders or commercial small studios -- still sounds like a demo tape for me. For sure they are too much better than it used to be 30 years ago (absolutely no doubt about this) but still not comparable to the quality of the veteran giants (AKA commercial recordings). But maybe it's just me.
