That's kind of a tough question to answer. As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure what the real question is. Yeah, the big studios have the big gear but just having one or three pieces of something won't let you raise your rates.
Honestly, I've never looked at another studios list and NOT booked time there because they didn't have XYZ gear. I've passed because the whole place wasn't up to snuff. I mean, if a place has a Wackie console and a bunch of 3630's and one LA-2a I'm not going to book time there. Once you get to a certain point it doesn't matter what the studio has. Most freelancers look for a good room, the standard mics, and a console. They'll bring in whatever outboard gear and mics they need time and time again.
Actually yeah...There's one thing most studios don't have enough of. Tie-lines. That bugs the shit out of me.
