Now if I compare my little home studio to Peter Gabriel's Real World Studio, of course he wins in the departments of gear, building, atmosphere, staff, quality sound. HOWEVER, if I spent a year at his place producing a cd, he could easily charge me $100,000+ for the production of my cd, which those costs would have to be made up in record sales and tour revenues. There's no guarantee that I'd get any record sales or tour revenues. So who's paying that $100,000 ??
