If a topic is interesting to you and cut short by a thread-closing...why not just start a new one and pick up where you left off? Seems pretty simple to me

True...but you lose some of the continuity from the existing discussion that was in the closed thread...and you also add more threads covering the same topic, which everyone tends to hate.

Would that be like creating a time/space portal to an alternate universe....?
We can keep closing threads and then linking back to them...like placing a mirror in front of a mirror, we will have a string of threads going BACK in time!
WOW...and we don't even need a DeLorean!

Hmm..
Scotti - "Over here in Oz, the price of gear has been ridiculous, up until recently certain brand gear was the only option. one day I'll have no behringer gear, but thats the future. It could be worse. "
Just so y'all understand this... the AUD swings wildy in comparison with the USD because of the nature of our economy - mining / resources / produce - we're the world's quarry and breadbasket in terms of things that effect the external value of the currency.
As of this morning $1 AUD = $1.05 USD - our dollar has never been higher since it was floated in the 80s. It's 65p for GT....
Right now, recording gear has never been cheaper in Australia, although, as a small remote buyer in a large world market, it's still markedly more expensive that the US.
I bought a fair bit of gear from 2000 - 2005, when the exchange rate varied from as little as $1 AUD for $0.50 USD to, at most $0.77. Prices for quality gear were outrageous.
Somewhere in there I paid $1900 for an AKG 414 - today, about 8 years later, I can get it for $1425 at the place I bought it from back then, but in the US, at Sweetwater, it's currently $999.
Even now, we pay well over the odds for gear of all sorts - small market... other side of the world etc. Way it is....
Behringer was cheap, and apart from a small 4ch mixer, I didn't buy any of it, because from what I read at the time, it was well known as entry level gear that produced entry level quality, and I was determined to land at least in the mid-level... the other downside of Australia is that there's no real second hand market for this stuff. Low-end stuff has basically nil value.
So Scotti - if you think it's bad now.... maaaaaaaate..... and Behringer isn't "the only option" - you just have to think long and hard about what you want to do, and where you want to play. If you end up with cupboards full of Behri gear that's unused as you drive ruinously down Upgrade Street, then perhaps you'd be better off holding off a bit at the start and lobbing further up the ladder in your first attempt. I've got almost everything I've still bought and use it all. I've hardly bought anything since 2005 in terms of mics / pres etc.
Life has never been easier for homerecorders in Australia in terms of gear prices... incredibly cheap in comparison to how it's been in the recent past. Plus - booming economy, we completely missed the GFC, everyone has a job... it's all good.

Gear doesn't matter very much. It's the musical inspiration which is coming out of your brain which is the important thing. I'd rather hear some brilliant, inventive, original music recorded with a bit of hiss, not very well equalised, not very well mixed, than some obvious, predictable stuff perfectly recorded.

I don't think you have to look very far...the Internet is full of it!
I always love it when folks say gear isn’t all that important, and then go on to give some idealistic reasons why.
Look…composition and performance of good music is one thing…recording it so that the audio quality is good, is another.
Sure…I can remember listening to crappy AM radio, and loving every tune I heard, but when FM stereo came around, boy did the music sound better! I can also enjoy current music on my crappy laptop speakers, but it sure sounds a lot better on a nice stereo system.
If you are recording…gear is important.
Really good gear is even more important if you want really good audio quality (and that has nothing to do with the song or the performance quality).
Also…not having and/or not being able to afford really good gear (at this time in your life) doesn’t make really good gear any less important.

If only for a moment.....
Is gear important ?
Of course it is.
Is gear important ?
Not particularly.
Do paradoxes make life easier ?
Only if one embraces them.

If I liked both songs, I'd rather have both of them.
