Okay Jay, I don't understand what about this line of discussion is getting your back up, but lets chill it a bit.

My use of the pronoun "you," in the above did not refer to you as an individual. It meant an average person likely to do things in a studio, and as such is probably wholly imaginary.

Once again, the pronoun "I" didn't refer to me, but to the imaginary average studio user, who could be you(as an individual) or just about anyone else that frequents these boards.

>I've NEVER booked a room just based on >gear.

Have you( as an individual) ever not booked a room because their gear wasn't up to snuff?

Try it as a hypothetical. Someone has built two identical rooms in the same facility, and therfore the staff, vibe and acoustics are exactly the same. The only difference is what gear is avalable in each. For the sake of the question, none of your personal stuff will work in either room. I'm sure that you'd (as an individual) make a choice.

As far as what you (AAI) might bring to a session, of course it depends on variables. I never imagined any of the answers in this thread would be anything but generalities.

Look at some of the threads in other forums, for example the, I have 20 grand thread. According to some posters it is not possible to anything decent with that amount of money. I'd be inclined to disagree, but that's why I asked the question in the first place.
