This is a pointless, pretentious, post-padder thread.
Say that three times real fast, and be done with it.

. . . appresheates somebody for at least trying and giving it there all. ( where all just a bunch of perverted computer geeks, but we all can make some damn fine sounding music )

People with home studios that end up recording at a bigger studio usually end up with a MUCH better album than those who never heard themselves on tape before
they can be REALLY bad for all concerned ( including the whole field of home recording) when they put real studios out of business thru dishonest tactics.
Most of the techniques and skills you read about and learn for your home studios were invented in big studios. The technology is also very much " trickle down"
The bad chain of events is when a guy with a mackie and an adat and zero skill can charge a VERY low rate and get business that should have gone to another place...eventually the band realizes the crap situation but no longer has the money to go to a real place. You can say " well the crap place will go out of business", but that means nothing....now the crap place can sell their crap gear to an even crappier place for CHEAPER
viscious circle
I DO try and set up the smarter of my clients with their own home studios as much as I can. It actually creates a LOT more business for me in the long run.
mbuster said:You know, the one thing I like best about my home recordings, is that they're mine. I am fully aware of my limitations, and the limitations of my gear. I would love to record my songs with a TRUE pro, just to hear what it could sound like in the hands of a master. But the fact is, I've got no money, definitely no label, hell I don't even have a band. Even if I did, I'm not sure I'd feel as personally involved with my songs. They wouldn't be as "mine" .The only thing I do have is the fact that, good or bad, Everything I record is ME. Everything I hear is ME. It's mine, all mine and if nobody ever hears anything I record, I'm still doing it because I love it. There's a lot more members on this BBS than are posting in this thread, and I'd be willing to bet a LOT of them feel the same way. So do most of us care what a real engineer thinks of us? Not so sure.
