well im new to this board, however i do subscribe to other boards. Finally, to stop this argument. Listen to Bluebears stuff and if you like it trust him if not tell him to go to hell. All the gear in the world could't make his mixes sound creative ot unique in any way. He's so textbook its sad.

Ya, because Dali only had fingerpaints to work with, and 3d game models can be done in Windows Paint, Jimi Hendrix played on a Sears Dan Electro, and Ray Charles did all his music on a 49 key miniature keyboard.

1st: hi everyone, my name is Marco and i'm the president of an italian cultural association devoted to spread emerging music's artists.
2nd: well we have 2 different philosophies here.

In our opinion HIGH quality is mainly for mainstream artists.

Emerging ones needs more promotion than quality. With the advent of digitalization, underground bands could spend less money to BUY gears than to use a professional studio, with almost the same results.
Not only: they can record in their own practice room, that means no stress for the artists and a known place, where they fell comfortable.
This also affects on recordings.
Last but not least, you own what you buy (using a pro-studio is a sort of rent), so you can use it again or resell.

But we're moving on again: from hardware to software.
Just an example: Native Instruments Guitar Rig (v2) is able to sound "better" than any hardware simulator.
In other words, today's demotapes quality is mutch higher than 10 years ago.

There's no hope: digital is mutch flexible and usable than analogic.

Our association production politic is simply to lend our gears (Phonic Helix Board 24 included) to the bands, so they can understand what they can do with just an home computer.

Many pro-studio are closing their business here in Italy due to high costs.
Again: no hope for old economy production philosophy.
