well.... your opinion is wrong. there's a pretty obvious correlation between more expensive gear, and better quality. It's not just some trick that's been pulled on all of us who work hard to outfit our studios.tyler477 wrote:people always think more money equals more quality, but IMHO it is mostly personal preference.
that's not to say you can't get quality results from inexpensive gear.
you started out here bragging about the deal you got on a piece of totally unexceptional gear. good for you! I still use a 1604vlz pro every day for headphone mixes. it's great that you got a deal! But, then you asked about your weakest link, and when you were given opinions about this, you argued with them. total dick move.
If you have everything that you need to get going, and you don't really wanna hear anything else, then stop asking about it. you've got your gear together. start recording.
In my opinion, your weakest link now is your lack of knowledge and your attitude that you think you've got it all figured out. Here's something for you.... argue if you want..... but, you cannot use a 4 track analog reel-to-reel as a DA converter.
Good luck with your stuff. The more you learn how to use it, the more obvious some of those weak links will become.
