Greatly expressed, Fab!!
I completely agree with you! Could it be because the two of us have the same avatar?

"You have to be realistic. If you have a small home recording studio, then understand the best you'll ever be able to produce is a class B demo."

I don't agree here. I recorded great stuff in the past with a Tascam 488 and an Atari running Cubase. The tracks, although put to audio-cassette several years ago, are still sounding way above demo-quality and just a nudge below what's available commercially.
These days we "only" have that computer in our basement, but it's running (software) recording setups that the Pro-engineers where dreaming of 20-30 years ago. The only thing needed to create completely awesome tracks in your "basement" is persistence and a little spark of talent maybe. If your recording sounds not good enough, you didn't work hard enough to get it where you wanted it.

Of course there is something to say for your point of view, but there are so many famous tracks where the vocals where recorded in the toilet because it just "did fit the atmosphere" of the track, or guitars that where recorded by direct-in instead of thousand dollar mics. Nowadays we have 96/24, HD-recording, sample accurate editing, etc. in our home-studio's. We have tons of great professional studio-gear costing a few hundred quid because it's software..... and we have almost infinite time to work on our tracks.
I'm not a pro-producer, but instead I can throw 20 hours (or whatever) at mixing a track because it's MY OWN STUDIO...
Any idea how much of that music that's distributed by the big labels nowadays is completely produced in project studio's ??!!
Ah.... and YES, talent has a lot to do with it
I don't have to rethink my point of view, I formed it over the last 20 years while recording in my own home-studio and seeing us getting more and more great recording equipment for lower and lower prices.
Let's just agree to disagree.

You still need the "fine wine" treatment of a true mastering engineer to bring out the best in the recording. I doubt that many home recording enthusiasts posses the skills necessary to do it.
If you do, then kudos.....you'd be the first I've ever known.
