From some of the articles I have read it seems that professional, educated and well trained engineers kind of scoff at home recordist. I guess its similiar to some fat guys playing softball comapired to major leage baseball.

HOMEBBS said:thats true, but once you have heard so many homerecordings how many of them really sound clean it's like this lets say you have never driven a car but have seen it done on tv or heard it on the radio then somebody drops by and hands u keys to a car and this is the first time u have seen one live what do you think ur gonna do mind u you have had no prior trainning at the wheel now how is that gonna sound
Its not just my opinion, as now the band is going back to their friend's studio to do their next album because they liked the quality better.
i bet a lot of the home recordists here (excluding me) would be able to do just as good of a job as a pro if given the right equipment.
If a guy knows you have a Mackie and a V67G but get the sound of a Neve and a U47 and charge him less money than a guy that really does have the Neve and U47, thats a no brainer.
In the end that asshole that scoffs at the NTK question, with a Neve board that thinks tape is "well just better" will go down in flames because of his attitude not because of his lack of skillz.
But most pros would still PREFER to work with top of the line gear, if for no other reason than it lets them get high quality results with less work on their part. Less time and effort also translates into saving money for the client
