I know this is an old subject but coming across this
i just had to comment.
The gear you use is about 20% of the product IF that.
Its about knowing how to use the gear you have.
Understanding how recording works.
Basicly knowing what you're doing.
Its frustrating to me (i record sound for a living)
when someone thinks all they need is some piece of gear
and they should be able to record like a pro.
I guarantee you if you give a pro crap gear it'll sound better
than a novice with access to a million dollar studio.
Let me hand you a scalpel and have you go remove a gall bladder.
The one thing the average novice has at his disposal today that is the one
thing that DOES make it sound more professional is the fact
that most of the sounds "he" uses is "canned"
Meaning his drums are already there for him, perfect sounds..
He doesnt have to mic a REAL drumset anymore. Doesnt need to know the techniques of micing that kit, phasing..etc.
His guitar sounds come out of a software program..already sounding great.
etc..etc.
