LittleDog, I totally agree with you.
Smelly Fuzz you are totally right too.
My point(s) is that GEAR gives no one a reason to be a snob ever.
Lets leave the the audio world and go to street racing for a minute. I come from a place where the guys grow up with wrenches in their hands and can take apart and rebuild a car from age 12. These guys can go into a junkyard, find a $1k car and put another $5 - 10k worth of parts, paint, etc and make a car that will beat a Corvette in a 1/4 mile and still looks nice too. Sure they put alot more time and work into it, but in the end they don't get ridiculed because they used junkyard parts.
Why does it have to be different in the audio world. Quite frankly some very good recordings have been done with minmal gear that was inexpensive. Yet, for some reason they still get looked down upon?? Why? A good production is a good production.
Personally, if I was an engineer in a million dollar studio and I hear that some guy with a portastudio, VTB-1, and a couple 57's and a C-1 was making very good recordings, I would certainly want to meet this guy and talk to hom and congratulate him. Maybe I am just different.
Arrogance shouldn't occur anyway, but when a person is arrogant when the product they make is only slightly better, if any, than a person with lesser equipment that makes them an asshole. Period.
