No bad vibes with you just putting it out there. I appreciate the input, like i said it is true that the more expensive the equipment the better the quality can be. But its what you do with it not what you have.

Thanks for the input.

while there are no doubt some people who maybe have some decent gear and don't know anything, the probability of someone not knowing anything and having an mbox some m audio speakers and a prosumer mic pre is probably a lot higher. Real engineers use and own real gear. Yes if you're looking for an engineer what their work sounds like is the number one thing,
but if it sounds like a record the odds they got that sound with prosumer gear is not likely to say the least
