Neve 1073 - $4125 (at Sonic Circus)
Urei 1176 - $2800 (this is what the last Rev B on eBay sold for)
Apogee Rosetta 200 - $1800 at Sweetwater
Total: $8725 hmm... that sure is a lot less than a million bucks.
Rent/borrow a U47 (even if you buy one for $8800, that puts the budget still well below a million bucks), and other than drums (which I track in a big studio), I can track everything else at home and have a completely pro sound.[/QUOTE]
this is a pretty realistic scenario, and I salute your approach...
but you can certainly get yourself on the map for a lot less...people are too hung up on equipment...I know of major label releases that charted where key elements-yes, even lead vocals-were recorded on cassette 8 track (yeah, that's 8 tracks on a 1/8" tape) and/or other "demo" formats...same goes for half-inch 16 track masters...
if you need a real eye-opener, listen to the first album by the Rembrandts...Fostex 16 track, one amp (Vox AC-30) for guitar AND bass...garage, a couple of mics..a healthy dose of talent...
