Is it really this easy for someone to convince themself that they know what they're talking about?
Well, it took a couple of long paragraphs. Couldn't have been that easy.

And the millions of consumers out there, who are ultimately the ones who're going to BUY the music because of the MUSIC also don't give a rats ass if it was recorded with expensive "vintage" pre-amps or through a cheap SoundBlaster sound card.
I'm mainly talking about when tracking.
Of course a plug-in that emulates tape saturation is going to sound nice (sometimes), but when your tracking and are hitting red it is a very unpleasant sound, not professional in the least.
Once you having tracked at a decent level then you can add your PSP Warmer and smash it as much as you see fit.

I am going to disagree here. They'll notice good vrs poor recordings. It may not be enough to make them not purchase the tune (if they purchase it all), but they'll notice.
I do believe that we are training a whole new generation to accept poor quality audio as a norm, though.
you know... he is a bit right. Most of the ultra ultra high end vintage and analog gear is just for us audio nerds to drool over. You can get passable results with cheap shit for most of the buying public. I try to stay right in the middle of the scale on that one.

is it this easy for a dipshit newbie to think he knows anything?
so really what's the point.
The ones that use ultra high end gear use it BECAUSE THEY CAN
If there is no need to compromise then why do it? Just buy the best.
The difference between shit gear and decent gear is big, but decent gear vs. these overprices monstrosities is very small
because I'd rather spend my money on other things. ultra high end gear costs just way too much for the advantage if any that it gives you. You might as well take that money and put it back into your business or something instead of wasting it on a 2 trillion dollar compressor/dick sucker.
The difference between decent gear and great gear is bigger than you might think. It's the difference between sounding good and sounding great.
If good is good enough, then no problem using decent gear. But if good is not good enough, then you really do have to step it up to some fairly high priced equipment.
What the "public" will buy is really beside the point when talking about recording gear. It's up to the recording artist to set the standards.
Ha ha, vintage warmer plug in. Suck it! Later I actually have records to make . . .
