LOL .. I was working at the Astoria and When heard the remixed version of Dark side of the moon in surround(it might have been the live gig in earls court...can't quite remember) In the studio I was blown away by the sound .
High end studios are amazing . But they dont give you Hit records and Turn crap songs to good ones.
The difference is in the producer/artist .
If you have a producer that cares for high quality result (like myself

) then it matters and the people that would listen to that kind of record can tell the difference, the bonus would be the people that can't tell the difference (like bdunard

who would still enjoy the record (even on mp3 format...

).
If you have a producer that is only interested in the money and making quick hit records (Like myself

)Then you lift faders on the O2R listen to another Hit record and rip it off and get an ok sound , thats fine too.
The idea is balance and I like both for different reasons . hey why go to an expensive Italian restaurant when you can get the same seemingly spaghetti in a cheaper one ?
One is class and the other is common its an acquired taste.
No one is better then the other and they both need each other so we could tell the difference .
Its all a state of mind my friend, If you are happy with ok sounding records because it does the job then its fine maybe for you its just like a 9-5 and you are happy to stay as you are. If someone else is happy with thriving for perfection then its fine too. one is a pocket issue and one is love issue and we all know how expensive love is .
