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 . .

I kind of understand your post but you confused me. You have a quote of mine, yet I don't know who you are talking to. By the way, I never said a big studio will turn crap songs into good ones. I said, a big studio will inspire you to perform better. (songs are usually written in bathrooms and places like that). Now you being a guy who worked at a place I'd love to visit, I am sure you agree with me.. that some of guilmours best sounding records wouldn't be achivied IN THE BOX right ? I was posting stricly about sonics Mac. I would really like to know where you stand in this issue.
