Ok, but then why does it matter if it sounds this good, that good, needs this, that? Back when songs were the focus, i guess it was the same, nobodies songs were doing anything anyway, it was just conversation fodder.

But, its alot of dough, and time, and effort, and work, from pen to master, for such a small reward/goal

For me, i want to release a CD, but before any recordings matter, the songs, performances, arrangements have to be there.

I usually look for that first before I comment on anything production wise. You wont read a comment of mine saying "you need this on that" when the demo is about as bad as it gets for everything else. lol. Why comment on the EQ of the bass when the bass in the track is never going to be the track used in anything commercial.

Its kind of like saying... "Use these pretty garbage bags to throw out all your loose papers and junk." and then people commenting on the bags.."lovely bags, what a wonderful display of garbage you have here" LOLLLLL

Im being facetious, but I think goals matter, and should be stated

Plus, by the time you buy everything, and keep upgrading, it becomes an expensive hobby, albeit a fun one



The "goal" is for the sound to be as good as it can be.
No point in going down side-streets and rabbit-holes.
